Until 2 months ago, the site had been averaging 20 million new users every month, but it seems only 13.9 and 11.8 millions
users joined the site in April and May respectively.
The company has been under a string of security and privacy concerns but we think the slowdown might have more to do with the fact that everybody already has a Facebook account.
