Social Media Filtering: How People Screen Friends Based on Religion and Social Status
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Most Indonesians are willing to befriend others on social media without discrimination. However, a small number of people filter their friendships based on religion, social status, and ethnicity.
This is reflected in the report *Status Literasi Digital di Indonesia 2021* (Digital Literacy Status in Indonesia 2021) released by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC).
According to the survey, the majority, or 71.4% of respondents, never considered religion when accepting friend requests on social media.
However, 6.6% of respondents reported doing so quite often, and another 2.3% very often.
Furthermore, the majority, or 79.3% of respondents, never considered ethnicity/race, and 74.4% never considered social status when making online friends.
However, a small group of respondents did accept friendships based on ethnicity/race and social status, with small proportions as shown in the graph.
This survey was conducted from October 4-24, 2021, using face-to-face interviews. The survey sample consisted of 10,000 respondents spread across 34 provinces, with criteria of being aged 13-70 years and having accessed the internet in the last 3 months.
The survey has a margin of error of approximately 0.98% at a 95% confidence level using multistage random sampling.
