In the graph that they share today in businessinsider.com we can see the new users who have won the different social networks of the moment during the last two years, data obtained by Statista and that shows the worrying situation in which is found Twitter.
Although we are talking about a network that grew a lot during the first few years, it has been too long stagnant, with even worse levels than Snapchat, which triples its growth during the same period.
What really frightens is that the four networks that lead the list are the same owner: Whatsapp, owned by Facebook, with more than 500 million new users, Messenger, Facebook, also with more than 500 million, Facebook itself, With more than 450 million, and Instagram, with 300 million more users in 24 months. That shows the enormous power of Mark's company, capable of managing the data of a large part of the world's population. Twitter, on the other hand, has only achieved 31 million new users in the same period.
One of the great fears of governments, institutions and users around the world is precisely this "monopoly." If one day we allow the information of the users of all Facebook networks to integrate with each other, we will have a company that will know more than the people themselves, competing with the omnipresent Google in this regard.
