The question of the month posed by TNS Ilres in November looked into why people in Luxembourg use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter privately.

It found that 17% of respondents did not use social networks. Over half (55%) of all those polled said they used them to keep in touch with friends, 4 out of 10 to keep track of news, while a third used them as a distraction or a way to spend their free time.

Around a quarter used social media because they wished to see what their friends were doing, to share photos or videos, or simply because all their friends were on these platforms.
