Facebook has added a Downvote button with a downward-pointing arrow in the comments section, allowing users to "downvote" unhelpful content.
Meta is currently testing a downvote button to reduce spam on Facebook. When a comment receives more downvotes, it will be displayed less prominently. However, the company has not provided a detailed description of how the downvote system works or when it will be rolled out globally.
A Meta representative stated that this test is different from previous Like/Dislike experiments, as it focuses on "helpful" content. A small text bubble below the button reads: "Let us know which comments are unhelpful."
The History of Dislike Buttons and Reactions
Concerns about abuse: Business Insider is concerned that the downvote button could be misused to suppress comments that a particular group disagrees with or dislikes.
Previous attempts: Facebook first launched in 2004 and added the Like button in 2009. The idea of a "Dislike" button was often raised, but Meta never implemented it widely, except for a version in its Messenger app. A downvote button, which was text-based, also appeared in 2016 but was later discontinued.
The birth of Reactions: In 2016, Facebook launched its "Reactions" emoji set, which included Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry. The "Care" reaction was added in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Geoff Teehan, Facebook's product design director at the time, this was a plan initiated by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2015.
The reason for Reactions: In a Medium post, Teehan explained that they considered a Dislike button but ultimately decided against it. He wrote that while it was technically simple, the social implications were "far more complex," and they didn't want to create a community where people's important moments could be "downvoted."
