For such large amount of data Facebook requires a huge infrastructure to store photos, status, vedio, likes, comments and many more activities. 
To support that huge activity, Facebook has built two huge data centers, has two more under construction, and leases additional server space in at least nine data centers on both coasts of the United States. More than 70-75 percent of Facebook’s audience is in other countries.

Facebook is currently most popular site in the world. This is the known fact of 21st century. Facebook is having 1 trillion page views monthly which is among highest in the world. Facebook currently accounts for about 9 percent of all Internet traffic, I think it is just little bit more than the Google.
