Of the 955 million active users 83 million fake accounts on Facebook!

An idea began on February 4, 2004 today in the year 2012, has been immense and is the popular social networking tool for millions of people around the world. In Facebook, although it began as a way to communicate with his friends, where the physical distance separating them, these days a lot more. It is a place for endless flirting and dating, to create groups with diverse content and of course for free advertising, whether for companies or giants for the smaller store on the planet. While the fears and reservations about its use and for public unknowns that can come into contact or even more for socializing and the "blind" appointment that favors this means of communication, new information on users come to strengthen their voices opposed to Facebook. Thus, taking into account the terrible events that have occurred, such as rape or murder, the fact that 83 million accounts in Facebook is fake, based on documents produced by the social network in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is of particular concern. That is, 8.7% of the total 955 million active users, it seems that this is not the profile that are consistent with the reality. Specifically, we deal first with duplicate profiles at a rate 4.8% of users, second, fake accounts at a rate of 2.4% and third, with accounts that are classified as "unwanted" by 1.5%. more detail The first category has to do with an account that keeps a user, along with the main profile of the second company profiles, organization, or non-human entity such as a pet and the third with accounts that operate in violation of the terms of use his service Facebook. Usually, this means that the profiles are created, used to send spam messages or other content. So, then, is the attention to the demands of friendship that accepts a user or a good filtering profiles with which is connected.
