Facebook says its Year in Review lists were compiled with data measured by how frequently a topic was mentioned in Facebook posts made between January and December 2014. The company says that to put this list together, it analysed Facebook posts in an "aggregated, anonymised way", and then ranked them to be able to create a "snapshot of the year on Facebook."
