Often do you find "bad" comments on Facebook? Whether it's rude, racist, or other inappropriate comments? But you can not dislike .. because there is only a like button on Facebook. And maybe this will soon change, because Facebook has just added the downvote button in the latest test.
Some Facebook users find a downvote button in their FB account comments. Well this is interesting, because from the first Facebook often dirumorkan will add Dislike button, but until now never happened because Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to be a positive place for its users.
But as you know that lately, the fact that happens is Facebook to be a hotbed of hoax news spread or false news, racial issues, even provocation comments. Facebook has been criticized for this, especially since their algorithm displays status and comments, not based on the quality or truth of content, but based on the number of engadgements in it. So even though the news hoax if a lot of the share will continue to appear, and although the comments are not feasible if many of the reply will also appear above.
Well button "Downvote" This is a test Facebook, so you as an FB user can give a kind of dislike for comments that you think inappropriate.
So as you can see, in the comments section after the like and reply button there is a downvote button. If this is clicked, it will show the choice whether the comment is misleading, offensive, off topic, and so forth. The comments you downvote will then be hidden so you can no longer see them. It means you will no longer be bothered by the comment, even if others can still see it.
And I believe that the number of these downvotes will be parameters by the new facebook algorithm to show, hide, or downgrade comments. So the comments that many downvote him, going down his position, or even hidden.
Facebook has confirmed that it is true they are doing this Downvote button test, and the so "guinea pigs" only a small number of Facebook users in the US.
If the downvote button is so released to the public, of course you can downvote various comments that you consider inappropriate. The hope, in addition to the comments no longer bother you, the number of downvote will also make the comment is lost or down position so as not to interfere with other Facebook users.
The effect can be positive yes, so the comments riot that was previously even raised by facebook, can be downgraded or even hidden by the number of downvote that entered.
Anyway this is still just testing and not necessarily going global released. So let's say in the comment field whether you agree or disagree, the downvote button on Facebook - or do you even agree there is a dislike button like the one on YouTube today?
Facebook itself denied that the Downvote button is a form of Dislike button. They claim that Downvote is a form of feedback that you can give to other people's comments on Facebook.
