A little more than a third of humans on the planet use Facebook each month, that’s 2.8 billion people in more than 160 countries and growing.
Outside its home country, Facebook is under the scrutiny of governments, who are grappling with how to handle the scope of tech companies today, as well as harness their potential for their own economies and people.
To help drive the agenda on the future of social media is Facebook's public policy team.
