Money is the top subject British adults lie about on social media closely followed by exaggerating the amount of fun we are having and embellishing our love lives.
New research reveals that 55% of British adults admit that they show a highly edited ‘best version’ of their lives on social media – indeed more than a third (36%) spend 5 minutes or more editing each picture that they post, equating to a 19,252 minutes or 13.4 days editing images over an average lifetime.
The study of 2,000 UK adults, which was specially commissioned by the TV channel W to celebrate its move to Freeview slot 25, revealed that half of respondents (50%) admit they regularly fib on social media. The statistics were even more pronounced amongst 18-24 years old's where two thirds admit to staging social media posts.
