Facebook is on the verge of reaching 2 billion users, with the social media giant closing in on a milestone that will move it into a select group of global companies.
The company is expected to report a blockbuster set of results this week, with revenues rising to 45 percent.
It has reported that the number of people that log in every month has risen to 1.9 billion users in the three months to end last month, with the social network now set to close in on 2 billion in the coming weeks.
Despite its continued growth, Facebook has been under renewed pressure in recent weeks over its ability to police the material shared on it.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has promised to do more to address violence on Facebook's live broadcasting feature, as well as the spread of fake news.
