The major share of these users are active on Facebook as it has 2.3 billion users. It is the most popular social network, but there always seems to be some controversy around it. When it was launched the controversy surrounding it was on who owns it. But it seemed like it went past that and grew into a social network on which one could safely converse with their friends and family. But it hasn't been so.

One of the factors that constantly puts Facebook amid controversies is that it tracks data. This data is then used by businesses on the social networks to advertise themselves. This tracking of data has sometimes lead to the endangerment of its users. An example is the year-long data breach which lasted from 2012 to 2013. This exposed the email addresses and phone number of 6 million of its users to unauthorized viewers.

When data breaches such as these occur Facebook usually makes an announcement and asks its users to reset their passwords, but several recent controversies have shown us that it isn't always the case. A big example of this is the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
