Social networking (Facebook)

Profiles, friends and feeds put social life online for billions.

Following SixDegrees (1997), Friendster and MySpace, Facebook launched at Harvard in February 2004 and passed 1 billion monthly users in 2012. Social platforms reshaped news, politics, advertising and personal relationships, and by the 2020s over 5 billion people used them.
