Welcome to your week. Today's Media Roundup is brought to you by Peter.

Crisis, what crisis? Facebook revenue up 11% — www.thedrum.com

If you were feeling sorry for poor old Mark Zuckerberg this week, dragged in front of those mean old US politicians, don't worry he's doing OK. As Mr John McCarthy points out in The Drum, during one of the worst economic periods in modern times, The Social Network has posted 11% revenue growth.

It seems neither global pandemic nor ad boycott can stop Facebook's upward trajectory. With more than 3 billion monthly users across it app portfolio. Daily Active Users and Monthly Active User numbers are up 12% annualized, matched by an 11% YOY increase in revenue, to $18.7bn.

Why has the ad boycott not made more of a dent? Well, 1,100 advertisers have stayed away including some of the biggest brands in the world. But Facebook has another 9 million “active advertisers”, delivering 80% of its ad revenue, to keep the wolf from the door.

If you're a shareholder, good news, your shares rose 5%. If you're a mere mortal, like us, you're just left scratching your head thinking 'WTAF?'
