Duplicated Facebook Accounts



Facebook founder: Mark Zuckerberg



Over millions of people have Facebook accounts and there is still a huge growth; this really proves the popularity of this social network. Facebook members grew to 955 million at the end of the second quarter, but some 8.7 percent(83 million) may be dodgy, the company said in its quarterly filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Obviously people may be wondering what the reasons for these fake facebook accounts may be.  The Facebook company said "there may be people who maintain more than one Facebook account, a violation of its terms of service. Parents also sign up for their children.It estimates that duplicate accounts represent about 4.8% of its 955 million monthly active users as of June 30, which amounts to about 45.84 million accounts."
The company also says it bans at least 20,000 accounts daily and estimates about 600,000 accounts per day are compromised.

These fake accounts can cause a number of following  problems:

• Facebook users will be in danger
• Revenuesfrom advertisers could ba harmed.
• Facebook would lose accounts from people.

By solving this isssue Facebook company decided to remove the number of all the fake accounts. This means Facebook has los it's members due to these duplicated accounts. There more duplicated accounts they find, the more Facebook is going to lose people. Will this make Facebook not to be the most used social network in the world?
