new survey, researchers found that more than half of respondents have blocked at least one family member on Facebook, with 54.8% of survey users admitting to blocking the person on the social media platform.The survey, conducted by Time2play earlier this month, asked over 2,000 users of Facebook and Instagram in the United States if and why they blocked a family member on social media. According to the results, 46.4% of respondents cited the posting of "hateful, toxic or problematic things" as the top reason for blocking the person. Meanwhile, other top reasons include sharing fake news (43.5%) and positing too much political content (41.4%).In this photo illustration the Social networking site Facebook is displayed on a laptop screen (Credit: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) On Instagram, the study found only 25.8% of Instagram users admit to blocking a family member on the platform. As for why Instagram users block their family members, we found they were motivated by concealing their own content from family members, rather than avoiding what their family members were posting.The study also found that the average age of an Instagram user who has blocked a family member was 26.1 years, compared to 32.7 years old for those who have blocked a family member on Facebook.Facebook currently boasts over 240 million active users in the U.S.
