Why is Facebook the best social media platform?

"Facebook is a social media giant and tech powerhouse. There's strength in numbers, and I recently read that over 2.8 billion people use the platform, and over 1 billion of those users visit the site every day. Users can target their audience by location, age, gender, interests, and other factors. Many businesses that struggled to increase their sales volume and the awareness of their product have been successful through Facebook. Most businesses, especially start-ups and small businesses, can't afford not to have a presence there."

The interviewer may ask this question to assess your knowledge and understanding of what Facebook is all about. They want to learn about your motivation, passions, and interest as far as this position you are seeking is concerned. They also want to know that you are serious about working at Facebook and have done your homework on why they're the leading social media platform in the world.

Take time before the interview to research all you can about Facebook before you head into your interview. Read over the job description and review every usable tidbit of information you can find. Check out the company's social media pages and read popular blogs and articles about what's going on at Facebook. Demonstrate your know-how of different social media platforms and indicate how Facebook outshines them.
