The results of the Q3 2021 earnings for the investor relations of the company were released earlier today, and it shows a massive achievement for Facebook with regards to its earnings and revenue. The revenue of the company is at a record $29.01 billion on this quarter alone, and from that, it has a total of $9 billion in profit.

This is a cause of celebration for Facebook, as it has been driven to maximize its platform to gain a lot from its users and all its partners for its social media platform.

After-hours trading of the company has its stock rising as much as three percent after the announcement, as reported by Bloomberg.

Facebook Revenue: Why Is it Massive?

The revenue of Facebook is massive, and the reason for that is its current viewership and community that has signed up for the platform and uses the app daily. Facebook is known for its ad-tracking practices and a massive platform to generate money for its users, as well as its own.

Facebook: Issues It Tackles Now

The big blue social media company has been at a massive standstill and roller coaster earlier this month, and before that, as a whistleblower has risen to provide details and evidence against Facebook's malpractices. The disputes against Facebook were backed up by an insider report, someone who is deep inside the company before leaving and exposing them, Frances Haugen.

The dispute is against the malpractices of the company regarding mental health within its users, particularly teenagers, something that Facebook allegedly disregards in the name of profit. The whistleblower said that what Facebook is practicing is more of profit over its users, something that focuses more on what makes money rather than internal safety.

That being said, another whistleblower has presented its case but has not yet gone public with its claims against the big blue social media.

Despite all this, Facebook has still managed to get a massive revenue for the past three months (or the third quarter), something which the company celebrates now amidst its issues.
