Women and young adults are outpacing other demographics in unfriending on Facebook, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
The latest Pew research shows that the two thirds of Internet users on social networking sites like Facebook are more deliberate in managing their profiles and trying to use privacy settings to protect their online reputations, up from a similar report in 2009.
Among the report’s findings are:
- 63 percent of them have deleted people from their friend lists, up from 56 percent in 2009;
- 44 percent have deleted comments others have made;
- 37 percent have removed their names from photos that were tagged to identify them;
- Young adults are more active unfrienders when compared with older users; and
- Some 67 percent of women who maintain a profile say they have deleted people from their network, compared with 58 percent of men.
