Without further adieux, I’d like to introduce you to today’s speakers – Welcome Ed and Aubrey.
- Our report sought to answer some key questions.
- These results out-perform social ads, whose click-through rates range from 1.5-4%, depending upon the ad unit (on Facebook)
- Israeli—Palestinian Gaza Conflict. Nicholas John of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that 16.1% of Jewish-Israeli Facebook users had unfriended or unfollowed someone during the fighting due to posts about the war. Strong social connections, such as family or close friends, were less likely to defriend, while on the other hand, weak connecting ties were an important factor: 66% responded they disconnected from someone they “are not close to”, while only 2% with strong ties defriended. The Refugee Crisis in Germany. A movement in Germany is focused on defriending right-wing political parties that have taken a position against refugee settlement there.An app shares which friends have “liked” this party as grounds for unfriending. Pew Internet Research. In a Pew 2012 survey, 75% of social network users said their friends post at least some content related to politics. The survey found that 18% of social network users have blocked, unfriended, or hidden someone based on political posts. This 18% figure is close to the 16.1% Gaza conflict numbers, which is surprising, as you’d think war is more divisive than US politics. As with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem research, weak connection ties were a strong indicator of action (defriending).
