After
years of refusing to build one, the social network is finally going to give us
a way to express something other than a “Like.”Despite previously saying the
social network wasn’t planning to build a “dislike” button, CEO Mark Zuckerberg
revealed during a Tuesday Q&A session that his company has indeed been
working on one.“I think people have asked about the dislike
button for many years,” he said. “Today is a special day because today
is the day I can say we’re working on it and shipping it.”
The
exact form a “Dislike” button may take is still up in the air. “What users really
want is the ability to express empathy,” he added. “Not every moment is
a good moment.”
Facebook
has long shied away from building a “Dislike” button over concerns it would
invite rampant negativity.
“That isn’t what we’re here to build in the world,”
Zuckerberg said.
