Facebook Guru and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook is working on a Dislike button which will be tested soon. Zuckerberg made this announced at a Q&A session at Facebook Headquarters,saying that the Dislike button is the social networking website’s long rumored and one of the most requested features.
“I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years. Today is a special day because today is the day I can say we’re working on it and shipping it,”Zuckerberg said.
Though in the past Zuckerberg dismissed the idea, saying it was an idea too negative, people (users) have continued to push and disturb for the button for too many years which prompts his company to release the feature. He hoped that the button won’t be used for showing negative emotions, instead it will be used for expressing empathy.
Zuckerberg said that he didn’t implement the idea earlier as he didn’t want Facebook to develop a Reddit-style system of down-voting and up-voting.
“What they really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment,”He said.
