A new research finds Facebook users delete friends because they don’t want to see offensive comments.
Facebook, the most popular social networking site, is made to communicate with friends — apparently, real friends.
According to a new Nielsen data, users add friends because they know them in real life. Survey said 82 percent added real-life friends, while 60 percent said they added people because they’re “mutual friends.”
The good news, Facebook users said they hate offensive comments. In fact, 55 percent of surveyed users said offensive comments are not acceptable in the stream. Meanwhile, 41 percent said they deleted “friends” because they “don’t know them well.”
Surprisingly, Facebook members also hate online retailers. A total of 39 percent said they removed friends because they were trying to sell something. Other reasons mentioned are depressing comments, lack of interaction and political comments.
Only 14 percent of the respondents said they deleted friends after a divorce or breakup. Deleting your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?
