Facebook is an American for-profit corporation and an online social<br />

media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California. The<br />

Facebook website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along<br />

with fellow Harvard College students and roommates, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew<br />

McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.<br />

The founders had initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students; however, later they expanded it to higher education<br />

institutions in the Boston area, the Ivy League schools, and Stanford University. Facebook gradually added support for students at various other<br />

universities, and eventually to high school students as well. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to<br />

become a registered user of Facebook, though variations exist in the minimum age requirement, depending on applicable local laws. The<br />

Facebook name comes from the face book directories often given to United States university students. The company held its initial public<br />

offering (IPO) in February 2012, and began selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak market capitalization of<br />

$104 billion, a new record. Facebook makes most of its revenue from advertisements which appear onscreen.<br />

Facebook may be accessed by a large range of devices with Internet connectivity, such as desktop, laptop and tablet computers,<br />

and smartphones. After registering to use the site, users can create a customized profile indicating their name, occupation, schools attended<br />

and so on. Users can add other users as "friends", exchange messages, post status updates, share photos, videos and links, use<br />

various software applications ("apps"), and receive notifications of activity. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups organized<br />

by workplace, school, hobbies or other topics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends".<br />

Additionally, users can complain about or block unpleasant people.<br />

Facebook has more than 2 billion monthly active users as of June 2017. Its popularity has led to prominent media coverage for the company,<br />

including significant scrutiny over privacy and the psychological effects it has on users. In recent years, the company has faced intense pressure<br />

over the amount of fake news, hate speech and violence prevalent on its services, all of which it is attempting to counteract.<br />

Twitter (/ˈtwɪtər/) is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages,<br />

called "tweets." These messages were originally restricted to 140 characters, but on November 7, 2017, the limit<br />

was doubled to 280 characters for all languages except Japanese, Korean and Chinese. [10] Registered users can<br />

post tweets, but those who are unregistered can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface,<br />

Short Message Service (SMS) or mobile device application software ("app"). [11] Twitter, Inc. is based in San<br />

Francisco, California, United States, and has more than 25 offices around the world. [12]<br />

Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams and launched in July of that year. The service<br />

rapidly gained worldwide popularity. In 2012, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day, [13] and the service handled an<br />

average of 1.6 billion search queries per day. [14][15][16] In 2013, it was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as "the SMS<br />

of the Internet". [17][18] As of 2016, Twitter had more than 319 million monthly active users. [6] On the day of the 2016 U.S. presidential election,<br />

Twitter proved to be the largest source of breaking news, with 40 million election-related tweets sent by 10 p.m. (Eastern Time) that day. [19]<br />
