Google Now Indexes Over 52 Million Facebook Groups

I’m not sure when this happened but it appears Google now indexes over 52 million Facebook groups. Facebook has told us that all “open” groups (via privacy settings) have always been indexable, however the amount of information available to Google has always been in flux. At one point discussion threads within Facebook groups were made accessible to Google, however it wasn’t clear what other information was available. It now appears that all public groups are indexed, and have been for a while.
