At its inception, Facebook had good intentions. It gave way to person-to-person communication where people would upload photos and share information about their lives with the world. It ensured transparency by making sure people couldn’t pretend to be someone they weren’t and it was started in 2004 by Harvard students. It was originally created for them alone, but as the word spread to students at other prestigious universities, its popularity and usage snowballed. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, there were over one billion users as of 2012.
