Over the last few years, the growth rate of active Facebook accounts has slowly decreased, now hovering just under 50 million. While that is still an undoubtedly huge number, Facebook may face inevitable decline because it is literally running out of humans. Facebook has signed up over 50% of all internet users on earth.
The growth rate has slowed because of market saturation. Nearly everybody who would ever want to be is already on Facebook.
