Remove Following people from mysite for all users

Question

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Office.Server")
$web = Get-SPWeb https://www.contoso.com/teams/yourteam
$context = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite]$web.Site)
$upm = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager $context
$users = $web.AssociatedMemberGroup.Users | where IsDomainGroup -eq $false
$useraccounts = $users | select loginname | Foreach {"$($_.loginname)"}
foreach ($user in $users) {
$profile = $upm.GetUserProfile($user.UserLogin)
#$objectToFollowRelativeToWeb = "/"
if ($profile)
#Create a Social Manager profile
#SPSocialFollowingManager
$followManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Social.SPSocialFollowingManager($profile, $context)
$following = $followManager.GetFollowed([Microsoft.Office.Server.Social.SPSocialActorTypes]::Users)
for ($i=$following.Count - 1; $i -ge 0; $i--) {
$followed = $following[$i]
$acctname = $followed.AccountName
#if claims:
$acctname = 'i:0#.w|'+$acctname
if ($acctname -iin $useraccounts ) {
[Microsoft.Office.Server.Social.SPSocialFollowResult]$res = $followManager.StopFollowing($followed)
Write-Verbose "$($user.UserLogin) stop following $acctname result is $res"
I have the above script from one of the technet solution to remove followeronly  for Contributors from MySite. I want this script to run for all user and remove all existing association. Can someone help me update this script.
Thanks Ba$va

Hi Basva,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to remove all existing association for all users
The $users = $web.AssociatedMemberGroup.Users | where IsDomainGroup -eq $false is to get all users in Contributors group. You can change the line to
$users = $web.AllUsers, then run the script, compare the result.
Here is an post for getting all users using PowerShell, please take a look at:
