Facebook is one of the largest social networking sites in the world. Facebook was launched in February 2004 by a few students such as Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes as a site for Harvard students. Today, Facebook is a public site; it dominates the entire world, gained popularity, changed American culture and still remains one of the most used social media sites. More than a billion people have an active account. Facebook was created by a Harvard student named Mark Zuckerberg, with help from his friends, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin and Chris Hughes. The original website was called “Facemash.com”. Facemash was a sort of "hot or not" game for Harvard students, where visitors could compare and contrast two photos of students side by side and let them decide who was attractive and who was not. Mark was a computer science student and he used his skills to hack into Harvard's security network and copy students' ID photos. A few days later, students found out about it and it was desecrated and Facemash was shut down by Harvard executives. Mark was charged with security violations, copyright violations, and invasion of privacy for stealing the students' photos, but those charges were later dropped. On February 4, Mark launched a new site called “thefacebook.com”. He wanted to create a website that could connect people around the university. Days after its launch, three Harvard seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, accused Zuckerberg of stealing their ideas. The three seniors filed a lawsuit against Mark and the matter was settled in court. After this was fixed, a year later, the name "thefacebook", changed to simply Facebook, after purchasing...... middle of paper ...... an Android-only experience, which replaces The app- studded, cluttered and messy home screen and adds a simple lock screen for the Android device with an attractive, immersive and distraction-free version of Facebook, graphical search and even a search engine. All of these products fail to thrive. Facebook made innovative decisions by buying Instagram for a billion dollars and Whatsapp for the incredible sum of nineteen billion dollars. After all, Facebook has been influenced by the world from the beginning. It makes communication between loved ones much easier and accessible by simply creating an account. It is a popular website with great features that has attracted more than 1 billion users day by day. Facebook is one of the most used websites and continues to dominate the world as the most used social media network..
