Not necessarily, Facebook has mobile clients.

  It's still over the internet, right?
  • alanh 11y ago
    Of course, but web ≠ internet.
    • r0m4n0 11y ago
      Probably closer to a Venn diagram where the internet encompasses the web and more. SMTP, FTP etc. Splitting hairs now

  I admit to loosely using the "mobile clients are specialist browsers" line of thinking here. Facebook definitely uses links and HTTP.

  Facebook mobile clients don't use the Internet?
  • cryptoz 11y ago
    The web is not the same as the Internet, though. The web is an open platform built on open protocols on top of the Internet.

      Interesting question: What is the Web? HTTP, or HTTP+HTML? Facebook mobile clients use HTTP, so are they using the web?

          Huh, this Wikipedia site is pretty nifty, I didn't know I could look stuff up on it, thanks!

            You're welcome!

          So.... Does the Facebook mobile client count as using the web?
          • andrepd 11y ago
            By the definition, yes, though I can't say how FB themselves count it.
  • myth_buster 11y ago
    I think they are coming from the web vs native app frame.

  It looks like mobile-only is 44% of FB use (FB doesn't distinguish between app vs. Internet), and 87% of FB users are on mobile. Source: https://beta.grasswire.com/story/177/facebook https://beta.grasswire.com/story/177/facebook
