The social-networking company reported 192 million monetizable daily active users worldwide for Q4. That’s up from 187 million in Q3 and 152 million in the year-earlier period. In the U.S., Twitter said it had 37 million monetizable daily active users in Q4, up 1 million from the previous quarter. More from Variety In early January, Twitter banned former President Donald Trump — one of Twitter’s most prolific and problematic power users. Even so, Twitter expects healthy user growth in the current quarter. The company projected that it will see year-over-year daily user growth of 20% in Q1, implying a net gain of 7 million DAUs worldwide sequentially to more than 199 million. Twitter noted the increase in average absolute monetizable DAU through the end of January was “above the historical average from the last four years.”
