The number of monthly active users of social media networks increased by almost a tenth year-on-year to more than 4.5 billion in the Q4 of 2021. This represents a share of 58% of the total world population. It is for sure that the coronavirus pandemic has helped such a major expansion of social media.

The world of social media is ruled by Meta Platforms, which was still called Facebook until November last year. Its family of social networks is used by almost three billion users on a daily basis. The vast majority are on Facebook (about 1.93 billion), followed by WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger.

The second most widespread platform among social networks is YouTube, which is a part of the technology giant Google, or its parent company Alphabet. Approximately two billion users connect to YouTube each month.

Social networking is no longer the domain of American companies. Chinese companies, which are growing rapidly thanks to social media, are also gaining in popularity. It is primarily the Chinese multinational group Tencent Holdings, which is the third-largest of its kind in the world in terms of market capitalization. Its communication platforms include QQ or WeChat.

That is why politicians of practically all major countries in the world are puzzled by the regulation of social networks. Institutional regulation seems to be the only power to limit the dynamics of this phenomenon of life in the 21st century.
