Fake accounts are estimated to represent 5% of all monthly active users.

Another important excerpt:

"The majority of these accounts were caught within minutes of registration, before they became a part of our monthly active user (MAU) population."

For MUA, recent news said "Facebook now serves 2.37 billion monthly active users". And 5% of that is "only" 120 million.

So ... most of those 3B were throw-aways?
