That's mind-blowing to me. Is that correct that roughly 26% of the world population is on Facebook? Or are these numbers representative of total users since the beginning of the site?

If it's the latter, then I'd be curious as to how many users actively use the site today.

It's monthly active. Also, this isn't surprising given the trend: https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly...
Also factor in that 13% of Americans don't use the internet as of Sept 2016. I'd expect that average global percentage to be even higher.
