Nearly 45% of adults who are active on social media say they regret
how much they used it when they were younger, according to a Kaspersky
survey of 1,240 working professionals across six Asia-Pacific countries
(Australia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam). On the
other side, Security.org’s survey of 1,012 US adults found that roughly
14% of those who deleted Facebook reported no change in happiness
afterward, 86% described themselves as happier, and 0% said they were
less happy. That survey never asks “do you regret deleting?”, so the
true deletion-regret rate it implies is closer to zero than to 14% — the
~14% is the satisfaction-neutral group, a conservative ceiling rather
than a measured regret rate. The implied ratio favors
deletion, but the comparison is imprecise: one survey measures
retrospective volume regret among current users, the other measures
post-deletion mood among a self-selected group of quitters.
The strongest experimental evidence comes from Hunt, Marx, Lipson, and
Young (2018) at the University of Pennsylvania. In a randomized
controlled trial, 143 undergraduates were assigned to either limit
Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat to 10 minutes per platform per day or
use social media as usual for three weeks. The limited-use group showed
significant reductions in loneliness and depression compared to
controls over the three weeks. This is one of the few studies
establishing a causal (not merely correlational) link between social
media reduction and improved well-being.
The main weakness in framing this as a clean action-vs-inaction pair is
that “deleting social media” is rarely a permanent, total act. Many
deleters migrate to other platforms, reactivate after a few months, or
simply reduce usage without full deletion. The Security.org survey
focused exclusively on Facebook, not all social media. The Kaspersky
figure applies to Asia-Pacific professionals, not a globally
representative sample. What the data does suggest, directionally, is that
sustained heavy use generates more stated regret than leaving does —
a finding corroborated by Hunt et al.’s experimental evidence that
reduction causes genuine well-being improvement.

Perhitungan
Kaspersky Digital Reputation Economy survey conducted by YouGov in November 2020 across six Asia-Pacific countries (Australia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam), n = 1,240 working professionals who use social media at least 1 hour/day. The 45% figure captures retrospective regret about volume of past social media use, not current-session regret. Population is Asia-Pacific, not global — earlier descriptions of this as a "global" survey were inaccurate.

Limited-use group showed significant reductions in loneliness and depression. Provides experimental evidence that reduced use improves well-being, supporting the action-side regret finding. Does not provide a binary regret rate itself.

Perhitungan
Security.org surveyed 1,012 US adults who had ever held a Facebook account. Among those who deleted or deactivated, the happiness breakdown was: 45.6% significantly happier, 40.5% slightly happier (86% happier total), 13.9% neither more nor less happy, and 0% less happy (0% slightly less + 0% significantly less). The survey asks ONLY about happiness change — it never asks "do you regret deleting?" Because 0% reported being less happy, the true deletion-regret rate implied by this data is near zero, not 14%. The ~14% we surface is the satisfaction-NEUTRAL group used as a conservative ceiling on the share who felt no benefit — a proxy, not a measured regret rate (hence proxy_only: true). Note: article was updated/republished in 2025 but original data collection was 2021.

University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health, November 2022. Over 50% of young people have deleted or considered deleting accounts. Corroborates that deletion intent is common and driven by negative experiences, not impulsive decisions likely to generate regret.
Catatan
Angka tindakan dan kepasifan berasal dari survei yang berbeda dengan populasi yang berbeda dan operasionalisasi "penyesalan" yang berbeda. Angka Kaspersky 45% mengukur penyesalan retrospektif tentang volume penggunaan di masa lalu di kalangan profesional kerja Asia-Pasifik (bukan "global" seperti dijelaskan sebelumnya — survei dilakukan oleh YouGov di enam negara Asia-Pasifik pada November 2020). Angka Security.org ~14% merupakan batas atas yang diperkirakan: itu adalah kelompok netral-kepuasan ("tidak lebih dan tidak kurang bahagia", 13,9%) dari ukuran kebahagiaan di kalangan orang AS yang menghapus Facebook — bukan pertanyaan penyesalan langsung. Yang penting, 0% orang yang menghapus mengatakan mereka menjadi kurang bahagia, sehingga tingkat penyesalan-penghapusan sebenarnya yang tersirat dari data hampir nol; angka ~14% adalah batas atas konservatif atas proporsi yang tidak merasakan manfaat, dibawa sebagai proksi (proxy_only: true). Ini adalah konstruk yang berbeda (penyesalan yang dinyatakan tentang volume dibandingkan perubahan kebahagiaan setelah penghapusan) yang diukur pada populasi yang berbeda (profesional Asia-Pasifik dibandingkan pengguna Facebook AS). Hunt et al. (2018, U Penn, n=143) memberikan bukti eksperimental terkuat: membatasi media sosial secara acak menjadi 30 menit/hari secara signifikan menurunkan depresi dan kesepian, yang mengisyaratkan bahwa penggunaan berat benar-benar menimbulkan kerugian alih-alih sekadar berkorelasi dengannya. Penghapusan Facebook tidak setara dengan menghapus semua media sosial; orang yang meninggalkan satu platform sering bermigrasi ke platform lain. Rasio kira-kira 3:1 sebaiknya dibaca sebagai indikasi arah — mereka yang bertahan lebih mungkin mengungkapkan penyesalan daripada mereka yang pergi — tetapi besaran persisnya lemah landasannya.
