The founders initially limited the website's membership to
Harvard students. Later they expanded it to higher education institutions in
the Boston area, the Ivy League schools, and Stanford University . Facebook gradually added
support for students at various other universities, and eventually to high
school students. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has
been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook, though variations exist
in this requirement, depending on local laws. The name comes from the face book
directories often given to American university students. Facebook held its
initial public offering (IPO) in February 2012, valuing the company at $104
billion, the largest valuation to date for a newly listed public company. It
began selling stock to the public three months later. Facebook makes most of
its revenue from advertisements that appear onscreen.
Facebook can be accessed from a large range of devices with
Internet connectivity, such as desktop computers, laptops and tablet computers,
and smartphones. After registering, users can create a customized profile
indicating their name, occupation, schools attended and so on. Users can add
other users as "friends", exchange messages, post status updates,
share photos, videos and links, use various software applications
("apps"), and receive notifications of other users' activity.
Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups organized by
workplace, school, hobbies or other topics, and categorize their friends into
lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends".
Additionally, users can report or block unpleasant people.
Facebook has more than 2.2 billion monthly active users as
of January 2018. Its popularity has led to prominent media coverage for the
company, including significant scrutiny over privacy and the psychological
effects it has on users. In recent years, the company has faced intense
pressure over the amount of fake news, hate speech and depictions of violence
prevalent on its services, all of which it is attempting to counteract.
