*It was originally called facemash where the site was used to compare 2 pictures of women and to see which one was hotter.
*He created facemash to get his crush off his mind.
*Facemash was only for Harvard, but grew to colleges and high schools and was legible for 13 year olds.
*It was forward to the admins of Harvard and the immediately shut it down.
*Zuckerberg was charged for breaching privacy.
*Later Harvard dropped the charges against Zuckerberg.
*That next semester he changed facemash and created The Facebook in February 2004.
*In 2005 he dropped “the” from the URL making it just Facebook
*In September 2005 he created a high school version and each high school had to be invited to be allowed to join the network
*Later he allowed companies to have there own networks on Facebook
*Unfortunately, Facebook is banned from some countries, and have been sued more than once
*Facebook is also banned from use in offices
