The company said that the revenue increased by $ 11.9 billion in the first three months of the year (January-March), last year the revenue was 8 billion dollars in the first quarter.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said, "Despite facing significant challenges, our community and business has started strong in 2018."

Facebook's profit increased to $ 4.9 billion in the first quarter of this year, which was 3 billion dollars in the same period last year.
In late March, at the end of Facebook's first quarter, a scandal related to Facebook's confidentiality was caught by Cambridge Analyktor, a UK political consultancy firm. But its impact did not come in the number of users.
Referring to the first quarter results, Zuckerberg said, "We are expanding our vision of our responsibility and investing in improving our services."
'But to connect the people, to strengthen our community and bring the world closer, we have to create new tools.'
According to Facebook, the number of daily active users increased by 13 percent, in March, Facebook's daily active users were 1.45 billion and monthly users increased by 2.2 billion. The number of staff increased by 48 percent to 27 thousand 742.
