During a Q&A session in California, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted that the world’s largest social network is thinking about adding a dislike button finally.
Zuckerberg held his second open forum for Facebook users on Thursday, reports ABC News. He was asked about the dislike button, something users have wanted for years as a way to show that they disapprove of something without having to comment on it. No one wants to “like” a post that they really don’t like.
“One of things we've thought about for quite a while is what's the right way to make it so that people can easily express a broader range of emotions,” Zuckerberg said, notes BBC News. He admitted that a “dislike” button would be appropriate for Facebook posts about sad moments in life.
However, he doesn’t want the option if people are only going to use it to say something’s not good.
“That's not something that we think is good for the world,” he said. “The thing that I think is very valuable is that there are more sentiments that people want to express."
Zuckerberg has been more open about his life and business ideas in recent months, as Facebook has become a public company and investors have been eager to hear what the 30-year-old plans to do next. Last month, he held the first public forum, which included the important question on his fashion choices.
As ABC News notes, Zuckerberg said he has too many other things to worry about and fashion’s not one of them. That’s why he wears the same style shirt every day.
