FACEBOOK DISLIKE BUTTON.
The Dislike or don’t like button on the Facebook is user’s wish since long time. After years passed of unheard demand, now the reports are circulating that Facebook is likely to launch the Dislike button in upcoming months. However, there might be some conditions.
According to the United Kingdom media reports, Facebook tested this Dislike button on 5% of population in North America. It would be downvote or negative vote option rather than a thumb down. Users can opt this to flag posts or comments which they may found disrespectful, annoying or malicious.
So the most appropriate idea behind this Dislike button is not just to show disagreement but also to report malicious or inappropriate content. However, for to show disagreement Facebook had already launched an angry face reaction. Moreover the Facebook has just planned to launch upvote option too with that Dislike option. It will show the preference about the certain content according to user’s choice.
This system of upvote and downvote might seem just like as ‘karma’. However, the platforms like Reddit and Quora already using this system of upvote and downvote. And used this opinion to highlight or prefer one post over another.
It really will help the Company to determine the content in which most users are interested in. By encouraging best comments, it would impart self-moderation in its users. Moreover, this will be the future step to achieve the end of ‘fake news’ as it seems plague to Facebook and other sites like YouTube as well.
However, this is not based solely on the user’s upvote and downvote opinion. This week Facebook has announced to open its office in Barcelona, which will work on verifying and moderating the content. It the best step taken, to introduce professional tools beside just user’s good work, to fight against the fake info.
