Facebook

Overview

Launched in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his co-founders, Facebook is a leading global social networking company enabling users to connect, share content, and communicate in real time. Originally created for Harvard students, it quickly expanded to other universities and then to the general public, becoming one of the largest social media platforms in the world.

As part of Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook offers a variety of services. Users can create profiles, interact with friends and family, and share photos, videos, and updates. Key features include the personalized News Feed and Facebook Timeline. The platform also provides targeted advertising solutions for businesses and enables developers to create applications integrated with its social graph. Ongoing innovations include video chat capabilities and a bug bounty program to enhance security.
