Few weeks ago Facebook announced that they are gonna launch a new feature that is the #Dislike or #Empathy button on the comment section of the Facebook. Recently there has been many news that has been released related to this case.
First of all it is not a #Thumbs Down button as expected by many users. Thumbs down button may lead to the bad behavior and feeling and may relate to bullying so the Thumbs down icon will not be there as like Thumbs up like button.
In the patent illustration the Facebook Dislike or Empathy button will be just like a Emoji like many other smileys. Near to the comment section like button there will be a emoji options that allows the users to select sad, happy or down like emojis.
Of course the Facebook comment section allows the users to insert emojis the dislike feature will be just an additional option and not the new Thumbs down as expected.
Most importantly there has been a message that goes viral in Facebook Messenger is that "Get the Facebook Dislike Feature", Spammers are using this spam message to get some credentials from the users.
Once a user clicks on the link then the user will be redirected to the page where he/she will be asked to enter the credentials and the survey also involves some personal information that can be used by the spammers.
Users are recommended not to click on those links and not to respond to any such messages because it may migrate through your contact list and there is no Thumbs Down icon for dislike or empathy feature by Facebook.
P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to be misused.
