2018 was a difficult year for Facebook, with the revelation of some scandals that were among the biggest in the history of the company. Despite this, Facebook continues to see its revenue (PDF) but also the number of users to grow.
Here is to say that according to the latest data, daily active users have decreased.
Over the last three months of 2018, Facebook has announced 2,32 billion active users per month, and 1,52 billion active users daily. The penultimate quarter numbers were at 2,27 billion and 1,49 bids respectively. So there is an increase of 9% from last year.
The income of the largest social network reached $16,9 billion in Q4, up 30% year over year.
"The community and businesses continue to grow," said the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
We have fundamentally changed the way we manage our company to focus on the bigger social issues and invest more by creating new and inspiring ways of connecting people.
While Facebook seems to be continuing its unstoppable growth in 2018, the company's relations with lawmakers and users have not been the best, especially after the revelation of its scandal Cambridge Analytica.
The scandal brought Mark Zuckerberg for the first time with the US Congress.
The announcement of the company's profits came after another one a big scandal revealed by TechCrunch, which shows that the public doesn't care that much about their privacy on Internet.
