1.5% on Facebook are spammers


About 1.5 per cent out of the total 955 million users on Facebook may be spammers, thus undesirable users.

ITRealms findings shows that also, about 4.8 per cent are classified as duplicate accounts, 2.4 per cent ‘user-misclassified’ accounts, otherwise known as joke accounts or for pets.

Facebook has admitted that as many as 83 million of its users could be fake or inactive accounts, equivalent to almost one in ten of the site’s members.
