Asia is now Facebook’s biggest region in terms of daily active users, with 396 million people across using Facebook each day. It’s tough to recall a time when a person does not have an online account or social media identity. According to the data, “Facebook’s Asia users have rocketed by 57 percent in the past two years.”
