Facebook’s (FB) newest figures for Q3 2013 are out, showing strong numbers that beat expectations with $2.02 billion in total revenue.

While Facebook’s average revenue per active user in Asia is up, it’s still dwarfed by the whopping $962 million that Facebook makes from just the 199 million active users in the US and Canada.

The NextBigWhat blog crew notes that Facebook’s earnings teleconference mentioned that developing markets like India and Turkey likely have more spam/fake or duplicate accounts than the global average. Duplicate accounts maybe constitute between 0.8 and 2.1 percent of the active users on Facebook, while spammers might make up between 0.4 and 1.2 percent of its worldwide active user-base.
