Social media is known for fact-checking. However, not all sites are up to the challenge. Instagram is the second most visited social network site after Facebook, with Shopify's stores receiving more traffic than Facebook. A majority of websites do not have a fact-checking or content moderation policy. Facebook's content moderation and fact-checking is essential to stop misinformation. Here are a few facts about social media that may surprise you.
Facebook is most popular social media website
With more than 32,000,000 users in the UK, Facebook is the most used social media platform. TikTok has the fastest growing social networking site of 2020. Users can share short video content. With more than two billion users worldwide, TikTok is on track to become the biggest social media site of all time. It has already outperformed Facebook in monthly active users.
Shopify stores have the second most traffic from Instagram
Instagram is now a key part of many online marketing strategies. It's the second most popular source of traffic for Shopify stores. Instagram has over 1 billion active monthly users. This allows you to quickly grow your following and drive sales to your Shopify store. As one of the top social media platforms, Instagram ranks #4 in the number of apps with the highest number of active users. It continues to grow by over 100 million users each month.
Twitter has little to none fact-checking policies
Twitter does not have a robust fact checking policy like Facebook. The company does NOT believe it should be the arbiter and truth. The company is experimenting with a reporting tool that allows users to report any misinformation. However, this feature is not available in all markets. Twitter has not yet changed its policy, despite the fact that it is unable to address user misinformation.
Facebook has a content moderation policy
A report by the Facebook Oversight Board has been released recently. It contains some great suggestions for improving content moderation practices at Facebook. Some of these suggestions include notifications for specific rule violations, limiting use of automation and allowing users to appeal to a human reviewer. The majority of these proposals resemble the principles outlined in the Santa Clara Principles, a charter for civil society that sets minimum standards for content moderation.
Instagram has a per-follower engagement rate of 58 times higher than Twitter
A study by Instagram found that Instagram has a 4.21% engagement rate per follower, almost twice as high as Facebook's. In the study, 2,500 top brands used Instagram to spread their message and received 4.21% engagement from followers. Facebook and Twitter both received just 0.11% each follower interaction. In Instagram's case, the number was 58x greater. It should be no surprise that Instagram is becoming an important tool for marketers, with less competition than Facebook and Twitter.
Pinterest has a per click revenue rate 27% higher that Twitter
Despite a much lower user base, Pinterest has experienced consistent growth, with a US monthly active user base that is three times that of Twitter's. Additionally, Pinterest has seen a sharp increase in catalog uploads, with international markets seeing a 400% increase. Both companies have the potential to monetize their content. Is Pinterest the right way to go? Let's discover.
71% of U.S. companies use Instagram
Instagram's popularity is one reason it is such a popular social media platform. Eighty percent (80%) of Instagram users come from outside the U.S., which speaks to how popular visual media is these days. Seventy-one per cent of all Instagram users are between 18 and 29 years old. If your goal is to market to a younger audience on Instagram, ensure that you have a higher number of image and carousel post. Video posts receive the third-highest engagement rate at 0.75%.
