dc.description.abstract | Background: In recent times, it has been demonstrated that a huge chunk of the world’s population is on some form of social media. It is estimated that between 4.6 and 5 billion people out of the world's population use social media. Such platforms include WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Of these, Facebook has the biggest following, boasting of an estimate of over 2.9 billion monthly active users (as of January 2022). WhatsApp, as a cross-platform instant messaging service, is Facebook’s closest competitor (although now owned by Facebook), frequented by more than two billion monthly active users. Instagram and Twitter follow behind WhatsApp with figures of 1.48 billion and 436 thousand active users respectively. | en_US |
