Facebook, pressed for years by its
users to add a Facebook button “I
do not like” on its social network,
announced that it was working on the
issue with tests planned for “soon”.
“We have finally heard,” said the
CEO and founder of the group, Mark
Zuckerberg, at a session of questions
and answers open to the public in
Menlo Park in Silicon Valley.
He was responding to a question
submitted online by a network user
in Cairo, who asked him why there
were no buttons like “I’m sorry”,
“interesting” or “I do not like”.
“People calling the “I do not like”
button for many years,” admitted
Mark Zuckerberg, “and today is a
special day, because that’s the day I
can say that we are working on it and
we are close to starting a test.”.
“We do not want to transformFacebook
into a forum where people vote for or
against the people publications,” he
said. He argued that network users
primarily wanted to “express empathy”
for the sad events like death or the
refugee crisis for example.
“It is important to give people more
options than just the “like” button,”
he continued, noting that it was
“surprisingly difficult” to implement
such step.
