The Guardian has reported that, in the last two months alone, Facebook has lost over nine million users in the US and more than two million users in the UK. These are shocking statistics, especially for a company that as recently as six months ago, seemed to be heading to a point where its tentacles would reach every user with internet access, and stay there.

Mark Zuckerberg's note to Facebook shareholders explains how the hacker way has given his business a particular mentality.
