Facebook is going to introduce dislike button to its social network. Founder of the Facebook Mark Zuckerberg said that the button would be a way for people to express empathy.
He said Facebook was very close to having it ready for user testing. A “dislike” button has been constantly requested by some users since the introduction of the now-iconic “like” button in 2009.
“People have asked about the ‘dislike’ button for many years,” Zuckerberg said and added, “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.”
