Facebook is the most popular social network in the United States and as of March 2022, 54.1 percent of U.S. Facebook audiences were female, and 45.9 percent of users were male. The social network had a combined 262 million monthly active users in the United States and Canada as of the final quarter of 2021.
Facebook usage concerns
Despite near universal Facebook awareness and wide-ranking adoption, many consumers are wary of the social network’s influence on their digital experience and life. In 2018, the company was plagued by scandals, ranging from being a tool in the alleged foreign influence of the U.S. elections in 2016, to being utilized in spreading misinformation by bad actors due to lax content policies, to the mishandling of user data. During a March 2018 survey, 50 percent of internet users in the United States stated that large digital platforms such as Facebook (and also Google and Twitter) should be regulated.
