Facebook is in for a rough week, but its latest financial results show it's still raking in the cash

Facebook revealed financial numbers on Monday that showed the social media giant is making more money than ever, even as its critics have never been louder.

The company posted its third-quarter results after markets closed on Monday, revealing that its revenue rose by 35 per cent in the three months up to the end of September. Its profit rose by 17 per cent, and the company even saw an unexpected uptick in the number of people who use its services every day.

“We made good progress this quarter and our community continues to grow,” founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
