We don't like it, but use it

Friday, 2 February 2024 06:30

Although we might not like it very much, most of use social media several times a day.

That’s the result of a survey by the SSR – marking the 20th anniversary of Facebook. 

66% say they access social media several times a day, a further 11% say once a day. 

Only 5% say they never use it.

But there is a significant language region difference. 81% of French speakers use social media at least once a day, but that falls to 64% in the German speaking regions. 

However, we don’t believe it’s making our lives better. Only 34% tend to agree with that.
