Facebook remains the most popular social network platform for US Internet users whereas Twitter has failed to attract more users since last September, a study showed Wednesday.

According to the Pew Research Center report, 72 percent of online American adults are currently using Facebook, a proportion barely changed from September 2014.

The report found that Facebook is especially popular among online women, 77 percent of whom are users.

Demographically speaking, younger population is also more inclined to use Facebook, a finding consistent with the past research. According to the Pew report, 82 percent of online adults between the age of 18 and 29 use Facebook.
