Based on a survey by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), Facebook appears to enable its users to accumulate more friends than other social media platforms.
Of approximately 11,000 respondents, 30.8% reported having more than 1,000 friends/followers/subscribers on Facebook. In contrast, only 11.8% of respondents had a similar number of friends on Instagram.
The proportion of respondents with a large number of friends on other social media platforms was significantly lower, as shown in the graph.
YouTube, in particular, seems to be the most challenging platform for building friendships, with only 2.2% of respondents reporting a large number of friends on the platform.
This indicates that each social media platform can have a unique influence on user behavior. For example, individuals may be more open to requesting or accepting friend requests on Facebook but more reserved on other platforms.
The survey involved 11,305 respondents across 34 Indonesian provinces. The majority of respondents were young, with 54% belonging to the millennial generation (23-38 years old) and 32.5% to Generation Z (17-22 years old).
In addition to documenting various social media user behaviors, the survey also recorded public perceptions regarding personal data protection. The complete survey report can be downloaded via this link.
