Finally, after years of clamoring and (often times) violent verbal pushes, Facebook is working on a "dislike" button or something similar. During a Q and A session on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that they're conducting ongoing tests and acknowledged the fact that fans have been requesting it for years. The Facebook CEO's goal was to give users other options other than the "like" button to express how they feel about a certain post.

While this may not necessarily be a "dislike" button, it could mean that a user will have choices on whether to be sad, annoyed or feel discomfort about a certain post. Zuckerberg clarifies that he doesn't want to turn his social media into a forum where people are voting up or down on people's posts. He goes on to give an example where an important life event is share by a user on his wall, only to have someone "downvote" it.

The "dislike" interaction was surprisingly complicated, according to Zuckerberg. Instead, they're focusing on a system that allow users to express empathy and that they would like to steer away from an outright dislike button that would likely cultivate negativity.

The CEO also discussed the company's work on its Oculus VR program which promises to give users an out of this world experiences other than simulated scenarios that are possible within the world itself. There were also questions about AI and its effect on the future, which Zuckerberg remarked as a beneficial tool, given its practical uses.

Facebook has also recently taken some heat regarding hateful and xenophobic comments posted about the Syrian refugees in Germany. The company promises to work with the German ministry of justice and various ISPs to flag and remove the comments. The company also promises to help finance organizations that aim to track hateful speeches in the internet. Facebook did not, however, say it would change its policies on what is considered to be inappropriate content on the popular social media.
