Billion , with a B. An e-mail to every single one of its exploiter — so actually a little over a billion at this level . In other words , one 7th of the intact Earth ’s population is getting hit with one message .
The blast — the largest email despatch Facebook has ever sent out in its history , and certainly one of the biggest non - spam obstetrical delivery in email history — isn’t even of anything particularly thrilling . In short , Facebook used to take into account drug user to vote on sure policy changes if enough people chime in — now they ’re going to phase that out , which does n’t matter because nobody really used this scheme anyway .
So as not to cause some variety of explosion , Facebook told us it ’ll be sending the messages out in waves But still ! One billion emails . One billion people , hypothetically all reading the accurate same thing . How many times has that happened in human story ? I would venture not that many prison term ! Of of course , if you add in all the people who will buy the farm between now and then , spam filters , people who just delete everything , and those sport with 95,000 unread messages in their inbox , the routine will be broken than 1,000,000,000 .
But I reduplicate : a billion damn emails . If you listen closely , you’re able to hear them rumbling aright now .
