Facebook's daily active users fall for 1st time in its history

MENLO PARK, Calif. - Facebook's daily active users dropped by roughly 1 million last quarter — a first in its history.Facebook parent company Meta posted a weak fourth-quarter earnings report on Wednesday due to a sharp increase in expenses. Forecasting revenue for the current quarter — which fell below analysts’ expectations — also sent its stock plunging 24.5% on Thursday, erasing more than $220 billion in market value and marking the largest drop in history.The fourth-quarter earnings report also revealed a drop in its daily active users (DAUs) — or the total number of people that engage in some way with the product on a given day. The social network’s daily active users fell from 1.93 billion in the third quarter of 2021 to 1.929 billion in the fourth, which a company spokesperson confirmed is the first quarter-to-quarter decline for the app in the company’s history.Facebook's daily active users rose 5% in 2021 compared to the year prior, while monthly active users increased by 4% in the same year-over-year period. CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned of slowing revenue growth due in part to increased competition from TikTok and other rival platforms vying for people’s attention.

As Canada’s home prices soared during COVID-19, real-estate money laundering audits fell 64%

anti-money laundering watchdog plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic, new figures show, a deeply “troubling” sign for authorities tracking dirty money, financial crime experts say.The data from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) showed money laundering audits in real estate dropped from 146 in 2019-20 to just 53 in 2020-21 – a decrease of 64 per cent. That’s down from nearly 200 audits of real-estate entities in 2018-19.The new numbers, obtained through an access to information request, come as Canada’s housing market has been on fire for the last two years, with prices reaching historic levels fuelled by ultra-low interest rates and a lack of supply across the country.
