While 160,000 is a very small number compared to Facebook's user base, it's two orders of magnitude more than what the "thousands"in the title made me imagine. A more generous title would have used something like "a sixth of a million".

Someone else in the thread is implying it’s closer to 190k. At any rate we are now into “hundreds of thousands”.
241693 right now.
Yeah. Thousands is nothing. Hundreds of thousands on the other hand is a strong start (though it will remain to be seen how many of those 160k users remain on there).
I agree. The title should have said "more than half a million people". then it would have sounded better.
It's not true though..? 160k is not more than half a million
Maybe the above was sarcasm?
