Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Facebook says it is now bringing in more money than it is spending.
The social networking site had previously said it expected to achieve this goal sometime next year.
In a blog post on Facebook's website, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the company became "cash-flow positive" during the last quarter.
"This is important to us because it sets Facebook up to be a strong independent service for the long term," he wrote.
This does not mean that Facebook is profitable by the measurements that most companies use, though.
Cash remaining after expenses could be swallowed up by other costs like taxes, debt payments or other accounting charges.
Zuckerberg also said that Palo Alto, Calif.-based Facebook now has 300 million users worldwide
