Summary | According to a new poll, British people remove four Facebook friends a week. Also, they only engage with about 10% of their Facebook friends on the platform. Users said they mostly remove friends from their list if they post too many statuses/pictures. Nowadays it is so easy to form large groups of social connections, but it's also too easy to remove people from those groups. The disposable nature of today's relationships is quite depressing, according to George Charles, (spokesperson for VoucherCodesPro).

Summary | “Ghosting” or defriending someone by text or social media is a new phenomenon. It seems that young people prefer using their smartphones and laptops to end relationships instead of doing it face-to-face. The term "ghosting" came from Katy Perry's song "Ghost" where she talks about ex-husband Russell Brand who had not spoken to her after demanding a divorce via text. Thanks to social media and the fact that you can hide behind your phone it is now easier to defriend people by ghosting.
