Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook Founder) has announced
Facebook will soon launch a button which will allow users to
express empathy.
Addressing a Q&A session held at the US company’s
headquarters in Menlo Park, California, the 31-year-old
acknowledged that “like” is not always appropriate for some
posts – about a tragic news event, for example – when people
might want to express empathy.
Speaking at the event, that was streamed live online,
Zuckerberg said that people have been asking for a “dislike”
button on the social media site for years.
However, he said the company had veered away from making a
“dislike” button, which could be used to vote down other
people’s posts.
“Probably hundreds of people have asked about this, and today
is a special day because today is the day that I actually get to
say we are working on it, and are very close to shipping a test
of it.”
He said the new button is ready to be tested soon and could be
rolled out broadly depending on how it does.
The company’s now-iconic “like” button was introduced in
2009.
