But after getting an election bump last quarter that many analysts tied to President Trump, the social network is actually losing American users, according to its monthly active user numbers. Twitter reported that it had an average of 68 million monthly active users in the United States this past quarter, down from 70 million in the previous quarter. In daily active users, Twitter grew 9 percent in the United States, Noto said, adding that the company continues to see “stable growth rates.”Although the company didn't offer hard numbers, Twitter reported that its daily active user growth overall was up 12 percent over the same period last year. Analysts had worried about stagnating user growth for Facebook as well, but the network still managed to grow its daily active users to 1.32 billion daily active users — up from 1.28 billion the previous quarter. The company reported stronger-than-expected revenue of $574 million.
