Amid fallout from the Facebook Papers documents supporting claims that the social network has valued financial success over user safety, Facebook on Monday reported higher profit for the latest quarter.

The companys latest show of financial strength followed an avalanche of reports on the Facebook Papers a vast trove of redacted internal documents obtained by a consortium of news organizations, including The Associated Press as well as Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugens Monday testimony to British lawmakers.

Facebook said its net income grew 17% in the July-September period to $9.19 billion, buoyed by strong advertising revenue. Thats up from $7.85 billion a year earlier. Revenue grew 35% to $29.01 billion. The results exceeded analyst expectations for Facebooks results.

The companys shares rose 2.5% in after-hours trading after closing up 1% for the day.

For now, the revenue picture for Facebook looks as good as can be expected, said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson. But she predicted more revelations and described the findings so far as unsettling and stomach-churning.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg made only a brief mention of what he called the recent debate around our company. Largely repeating statements he made after Haugens Oct. 5 testimony before a U.S. Senate subcommittee, he insisted that he welcomes good faith criticism but considers the current storm a coordinated effort to paint a false picture of the company based on leaked documents.

It makes a good soundbite to say that we dont solve these impossible tradeoffs because were just focused on making money, but the reality is these questions are not primarily about our business, but about balancing difficult social values, Zuckerberg said.

Haugen, meanwhile, told a British parliamentary committee Monday that the social media giant stokes online hate and extremism, fails to protect children from harmful content and lacks any incentive to fix the problems, providing momentum for efforts by European governments working on stricter regulation of tech companies.

While her testimony echoed much of what she told the U.S. Senate this month, her in-person appearance drew intense interest from a British parliamentary committee that is much further along in drawing up legislation to rein in the power of social media companies.

Haugen told the committee of United Kingdom lawmakers that Facebook Groups amplifies online hate, saying algorithms that prioritize engagement take people with mainstream interests and push them to the extremes. The former Facebook data scientist said the company could add moderators to prevent groups over a certain size from being used to spread extremist views.
