We start with facebook it may be facing growing pressure from regulators over the way it runs its business but that doesnt seem to be putting off users or advertisers. The worlds Biggest Social Network got a big like from investors on wednesday after a strong set of results with shares jumping in after hours trade. Lets show you the details. Facebook made revenues ofjust under 16. 9 billion in the three months tojune 400 million more than expected. Thats up 28 on this time last year. The number of people using its Services Including instagram, whatsapp and messenger at least once a month hit a new record of 2. 41 billion people up 8 per cent on this time last year. Those numbers come despite the storm of controversy around the company. On wedesday the federal trade commission confirmed that facebook has accepted a record 5 billion fine for privacy violations involving the Data Collection firm cambridge analytica. Facebook has also confirmed its among the online digital platforms now under antitrust investigation by the Us Department ofjustice into whether theyve stifled competition and harmed consumers. And its faced widespread concern over its plans to launch its own cryptocurrency libra. Finance ministers from the g7 group of the worlds top economies have warned of serious risks to the stability of the Global Financial system. The take from this is that despite a terrible year, facebook was facing over privacy, there were questions about anti trust investigations. Its faced scrutiny over its plans to launch a Digital Currency yet if you look at its results, the message is clear, consumers are leaving facebook or at least they are not leaving instagram. Advertisers are also sticking by the company. Fergus hay is ceo of Advertising AgencyLeagas Delaney hejoins me now. Youve been looking at their numbers as well. What are your thoughts . Its amazing as a Media Business its performing really well. The growth is strong and its great for shareholders. The regulation impact is fairly minimal. These Big Tech Companies can brush off these fines relatively easily but the interesting point is as a Media Business, it relies on the consumption. If the regulator becomes boa constrictor like, then you can see a change in usage on the platform and possibly a drop in the value of the media. What is interesting about the future of mates book, as you say, seeing growth, the numbers are going up and up, new levels but looking forward, if anti trust regulators really clamp down on it and other rivals, and if they cant get libra off the ground because regulators, governments, Central Banks dont wa nt governments, Central Banks dont want that to happen, what will they do . How will they navigate . We set for a while that facebook have not made a leapfrog and its been incremental optimisation of the platform. Libra is big, radical transformation being a media vertical to creating an ecosystem around consumers with a payment plan form at the centre. There is a load of regulation in the headwind and locality from regulators has been strong but its a huge deal from facebook. Facebook talk about how important it is for them but im not sure at the moment i see what the problem is for consumers. There are many thin texts out there which provide frictionless payment platform so im not sure what the problem facebook is. Fin techs. They keep brushing off these privacy issues, the privacy stories that come and go pretty frequently about facebook. Obviously a big fine for the cambridge and analytic event but there have been many others where our data has been found to be somewhere else and used by others via facebook but that doesnt put us off. At the moment, Consumer Confidence doesnt seem to be that damaged. People will become more self aware and self controlled. We are not seeing it in the usage right now but that does not mean its going to come. A lot more detail on oui going to come. A lot more detail on our website about facebook. Lets turn to boeing now because the plane maker has warned it might have to halt production of the 737 max if there are more delays to getting it back in the air. The jet has been grounded worldwide since march because of fatal accidents in ethiopia and indonesia. The crisis has seen boeing rack up its biggest ever quarterly loss as Business ReporterJonathan Josephs explans. The first time with heard a suggestion that production could happen if there was of substantial change to the current estimate of october as the date to win these plans will be back in the year. Theyve already had to cut production rates because they cant deliver these planes without the of regulators and they wont get before this software fix is signed off and thats something they continue to work on. Its one of the costs they are facing, they recorded a record breaking loss of 3 billion for the april to june. And record breaking loss of 3 billion for the april tojune. And a 5 billion charge which they told us about, compensating airlines which cant use their 737 maxs. And the reputation of boeing suffers each day this crisis continues.
