Facebook says at least 67.65 million fake accounts were used last month. That number can go as high as 137.76 million, if the company’s higher-end estimate is to be believed.
More specifically, Facebook breaks down the numbers as follows (the previous 5.5-11.2 range was found by adding the following ranges together):
- 4.3 percent to 7.9 percent of accounts were duplicates (meaning someone has created more than one account for an individual), or anywhere between 52.89 million and 97.17 million.
- 0.8 percent to 2.1 percent were misclassified (meaning someone has created an account for something not someone), or anywhere between 9.84 million and 25.83 million.
- 0.4 percent to 1.2 percent were undesirable (meaning accounts created to violate Facebook’s rules), or anywhere between 4.92 million and 14.76 million.
