Recent studies show that the audience of the social network Facebook is growing with people over 50. However, young people are starting to leave this network, although it is too early to talk about a mass exodus. This is news from Gazeta.ru
and students are leaving the social network Facebook en masse, which is increasingly being occupied in the US by users of pre- and retirement age, RIA Novosti reports, citing Forbes.
May was the second consecutive month of decline in Facebook's user base in the US, Canada and the UK.
“Children don’t want to be friends with their parents,” the publication sweden cell phone number list explains the flight of the youth audience, who don’t want excessive parental control over their social contacts, photos and messages intended for their peers.
According to the American youth-oriented resource Roiworld, every fifth teenager in a survey said that recently they hardly communicate with their friends via Facebook, although they have an account.
Macvideo notes that Facebook's American audience fell by nearly 6 million users in May, although its experts believe it is too early to talk about a mass exodus.
Facebook, originally conceived as an exclusive network for Harvard students, quickly expanded to include young adults and teenagers.
However, this year in the US the average age of a user of this social network has approached 40 years, and the most actively growing age groups were the categories after 55 years and after 65 years – half of the population of the United States has their own Facebook account.
In the age group over 50, the number of users has doubled in the last year: from 22 to 42%, according to a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Half of Internet users in the 50 to 64 age group and every fourth user over 65 are now registered in social networks in the United States.
According to the authors of the study, Facebook is already quite full of young people and therefore the expansion of the network can now only occur at the expense of the older generation. Adults go to social networks in search of contact with their children, who are leaving their parents' home earlier and earlier, going to study in other cities.
There are currently about 700 million registered users on Facebook.
