Facebook dismisses ‘dislike’ button as too negative
Mark Zuckerberg is now controlling our emotions too….because you know, we can’t not ‘like’ something.
The world’s biggest social network considered adding a “dislike” button and then dismissed it as a bad idea.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he was concerned that people would use it to spread negativity, according to Bloomberg News.
While a “dislike” button isn’t coming anytime soon, the company is exploring other ways to allow people to express a range of emotions — both good and bad.
“A lot of times people share things on Facebook that are sad moments in their lives,” Zuckerberg said Thursday at a question-and-answer session at the company’s Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters.
“What’s the right way to make it so people can easily express a broader range of emotions? To empathize?”
Maybe we don’t want to empathize? so right now on facebook, according to one man, we are allowed to express empathy and like? Dangerous!
