Facebook, now Meta, started from humble beginnings 20 years ago, on February 4, 2004.
A college sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg, launched the site from his Harvard dorm room, unaware of what the company would become.
Currently, Meta has a market value of $599 billion, and more than 3 billion people use at least one Meta product daily.
Clarified takes a look back through the past two decades at Meta, its achievements and scandals, and posits what the future may look like for the tech titan.
Zuckerberg first formulated the site in 2003 when he infamously created a website that encouraged its users to rank the attractiveness of his fellow classmates.
The website was quickly disbanded after being accused of privacy violations. Shortly after in 2004 he built thefacebook.com to connect students at Harvard.
