Facebook is one of the most used social media platforms worldwide. It makes connecting to your friends and family easier and more fun. Facebook is a social media and networking site that is owned by the American company Meta Platforms. The social networking website’s name, which was chosen in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and fellow Harvard College students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, is a reference to the FaceBook directories that are routinely given to college students in the United States.
