When one deletes a friend from Facebook because he or she knows that the Facebook friend in question would eventually delete them instead. Preemptive unfriending thus robs the deleted Facebook friend of the joy of being able to delete them.
John: Why'd you delete Bec from you friend list?
Adam: I knew she'd eventually delete me so I wanted to take the satisfaction of unfriending for myself.
John: Ah, a preemptive unfriending.

To accept a friend request on social media websites by people
who's profiles are marked private or "for friends only", with
the intent of checking out their profile pics and immediately
"unfriending" them based on the gut feeling you had by seeing
their initial profile pic. This also can come about via friend
requests from long lost friends or exes.
The underlying motive is that these people who get
"Pre-unfriended" won't notice that their friend request is
missing and not rejected.

When someone you're friends with on a social network takes too much of an interest in their profile (generates an excessive amount of posts) or in your profile (generates an excessive amount of comments on your profile), and you contemplate terminating the "friend" status.
Contemplation can also be due to terminated relationships, etc.
