The Facebook ecosystem - which in addition to the social network includes Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp - has exceeded 3 billion monthly users, and 2.3 billion people use at least one of these platforms every day. Zuckerberg wrote it in a post following the presentation of the quarterly results. Monthly users of Facebook alone are 2.6 billion.
Regarding the coronavirus, Zuckerberg highlighted the increase in the use of applications generated by the quarantine. In the countries most affected by Covid-19, the volume of messages sent has grown by over 50%, and voice and video calls have more than doubled on Messenger and WhatsApp.
In Italy, the time spent on apps has increased by 70%, the views of live broadcasts on Instagram and Facebook have doubled in a week, and the time spent in group video calls has grown by more than 1,000% in March.
On the fight against disinformation, in addition to the removal of dangerous fake news, 4 thousand news about Covid have been labeled as false, with the result that 40 million labels have been seen by users.
