If Facebook were a country…

Of all the social media statistics, this one is most loved. If Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest country in the world. With 500 million members, only China and India are bigger. But what kind of a country would it be?

A country governed by a small unelected elite.

A country which conducts routine intelligence on its populace.

A country in which the main sectors of industry are farming and organised crime.

A country without effective separation of powers.

A country which makes it hard to leave.

A country where the median age is 26.

So, if Facebook were a country… it would be Burma.

Great.
