Meta is the largest social media company in the world, boasting close to 4 billion monthly active users worldwide.

Meta packages customer data, gleaned from its application ecosystem and sells ads to digital advertisers. While the firm has been investing heavily in its Reality Labs business, it remains a very small part of Meta's overall sales.
