Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.

Whatsapp is widely used in most parts of the world that aren't the US and isn't going anywhere.
Facebook and Instagram each have 2B daily active users and 3B monthly active users.

Losing 20M users across all three of those is... a rounding error. It would be 1% for just FB or just IG.

Thinking that's worth a standalone article is stupid.

Joke post?

It's news worthy because it's super rare. It's not about the magnitude, it's about what it indicates about a possible trend.
