I'm not necessarily talking about bots clicking ads, could just be fake profiles for whatever reason: inflating the number of likes of a page, writing reviews, phishing attempts, propaganda etc

Let's say FB has 200 million bots. Do you think businesses could tell that there's actually 1.7b users and not 1.9b?
