Having The Social Network as one of my chosen films I need to have an understanding, other than from the film, of how Facebook was created. This will help me to identify artistic license and overall how far the film tells the truth.
The creation of Facebook is controversy. It was initially started up on 4th February 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg a Harvard student. It was then called "thefacebook.com". It is now just called Facebook is used by "400 million people a month" according to Business Insider. Zuckerberg was accused of stealing the idea from three other Harvard students. This turned into a lawsuit which actually shows some of the allegations to be true.
More can be read on the website.
