In Canada, where four-fifths of the population is on Facebook, 51 per cent obtained news on the platform in 2023, the Media Ecosystem Observatory said.

Does that imply 80% of Canadians are active on Facebook? Looking around, it seems like the 80% is accurate, but I assumed that a lot of those accounts were inactive.

I still have a fb account but only use the Messaging app on occasion.

Yes, 80% of Canadian users are dumb AF and use Facebook/Instagram and TikTok as their primary news source.
