Facebook To Add ‘Dislike’ Button To Post

Facebook is thinking about
adding a way to “dislike” posts
on its site, founder Mark
Zuckerberg has said.
Speaking at a Q&A session in
California, he said it was one of
the most requested features the
social network receives from its
users.

He said the site would need to
find a way to make sure it did not
become a way to demean people’s
posts.
According to Facebook’s own
figures, 4.5 billion “likes” are
generated every day.

“One of things we’ve thought
about for quite a while is what’s
the right way to make it so that
people can easily express a
broader range of emotions,”
Mark Zuckerberg told an
audience at Facebook’s
headquarters.

“A lot of times people share
things on Facebook that are sad
moments in their lives.

Often
people tell us that they don’t feel
comfortable pressing ‘like’
because ‘like’ isn’t the
appropriate sentiment.
“Some people have asked for a
dislike button because they want
to say, ‘That thing isn’t good.’

That’s not something that we
think is good for the world.
“The thing that I think is very
valuable is that there are more
sentiments that people want to
express.”
