    Facebook Shifted Focus on Groups and Changed How Users Access the Site: In a recent report, CNBC explored how Facebook's focus on Groups following a number of fallouts and scandals in 2016 fundamentally impacted and changed how people use the site. Facebook reports that more than 400 million people were actively engaging in the “meaningful communities” offered in Facebook Groups as of April 2019, up from 100 million in February 2017.
