13. Regarding that last article in particular

15M is like .6% of Facebook's user base, so one can be forgiven for not declaring the company dead just yet.

And are those numbers international or US-specific? I have to suspect that at least a few of the 2.89 billion users live outside of the 50 states.

I am prepared to be proven wrong, of course, but the links that you provided don't present a strong case that FB's numbers are seriously hurting. And, as your lead excerpt note, a teen leaving FB for Instagram is in fact still supporting Facebook.
