Too much Facebook is unhealthy
Facebook has admitted too much Facebook is unhealthy for users.
The social networking site made the honest admission on their official Facebook Page, sharing the post:
"Birthday cakes are made for people to be together. They give friends a place to gather and celebrate.
"But too much cake probably isn't healthy. So birthday cake is a lot like Facebook."
With over one billion active users, Facebook continues to grow on the world's stage but their latest admission indicates a moment of clarity of the social media giant.
In New Zealand over two million Kiwis are using Facebook, representing nearly half of the country's population.
Latest figures show 2,262,200 people on Facebook say they live in New Zealand, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg last month calling for a more and open connected world.
"Celebrating a billion people is very special to me," Zuckerberg said.
"We believe that the need to open up and connect is what makes us human. It's what brings us together. It's what brings meaning to our lives.
"Facebook isn't the first thing people have made to help us connect.
"We belong to a rich tradition of people making things that bring us together."
Key Facebook statistics:
