Facebook announces the balance sheet of the year; See what’s on the social network in 2014

Another year is coming to an end, and as always in this period, many communication and entertainment tools are starting to list the events of the last 12 months. Facebook is one of the companies that has been doing just that for years, and it usually launches a dedicated page in December to address these issues.

In what is called “Year Review” (something like “Year Review” in direct translation), the social network publishes various lists for the information of its users. In this period, the “Top Global Topics” of the year, which are the most discussed topics by Facebook users, come to the fore.

1. World Cup
