Facebook is finally implementing "Dislike" button

It’s taken six years for the facebook to realise that! Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday that the long clamored for “Dislike” button will be implemented.

The CEO said the company has been working on the feature—which would allow users to express emotions other than "like"—for some time because "we don't want to turn Facebook into a forum where people are voting up or down on people's posts."

“Not every moment is a good moment, and if you are sharing something that is sad, whether it’s something in current events, like the refugees crisis that touches you or if a family member passed away, then it may not feel comfortable to like that post,” Zuckerberg said, according to The Times.
Facebook debuted the “Like” back in 2009. There is no timeline on when the new feature will arrive.
