Facebook is to add a “dislike” button to its social network, founder Mark Zuckerberg has said.
In a Q+A session held at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California, the 31-year-old said 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,” Mr Zuckerberg told the audience on Tuesday.
