What would be better is a 'heart' button to express empathy, rather than a thumbs down.

Where's the 'I dislike Facebook' button?

The BBC is one up on them,isn't it. The Guardian doesn't have a down arrow either.

Followed by a rash of teenage suicides, no doubt.

Worry not.
There will also be a link to counselling services for anyone so cruelly slighted
Could we also have a politically correct drivel warning button for HYS
I understand that North Korean Facebook has a very interesting button.

Finally a quick and easy way to respond to all the Corbyn supporting posts I've been seeing.
Will save a lot of time. Thanks Facebook!

How does thumbs down indicate empathy?

This is clearly front page news.

How about a like and dislike for BBC journalistic content/articles such as this? I abhor Facebook, but i would like to implement the Like/Dislike button on articles such as this.

This is good. It means that people who post far-left nonsense all day can finally have their bubble burst by knowing that not everyone agrees with them.

Thanks Facebook. Now I can dislike the various attention seeking posts that only the "What's up Hon?" brigade can only cater to.

To avoid being hung, drawn and quartered by the social media police, he describes a 'dislike' as showing 'empathy'.
HOW NICE.
I must remember that the next time that some one calls me an obnoxious little s**t.

As a youth, I would like to weigh in here. Not only will this button be abused, for reasons known as "banter," it is screaming out 'pointless.'

How exactly do they plan to distinguish between a dislike expressing empathy, and one intended as down-voting / disagreement?
Besides, I think there should be a dislike button for expressing disagreement. Sometimes people say quite silly things and in those cases it is quite right that they are down-voted.

A negative button on a social media site ? Stupid thinking and will no doubt lead to people being charged or being accused of certain things. If you do not want to offend then better not press it. I, for one, do not use it or twitter or any other social media. It has its uses but not for me, thankfully.

Oh wow! This will be such a relief for me; I had started to think that all my friends on Facerbook were just a bunch of sycophants, who like everything that I post on there; now, at last, I will have true..........Oh who gives a............

Hopefully, it'll be complemented by some sort of algorithm that detects fake accounts, and trolls, too, and blocks them.
Facebook can be lived with, as long as it doesn't take over your life, but it's prime activity is to collect metrics about its users and sell that data to advertisers.
There's so much naivety about Social Media, and what you give away.
eg the Jenson Button robbery.

Oooooh look the beeb can open a comment section in the evening, if it is going to earn them some advertising dosh that is.

There are going to be a lot of tantrums, burst bubbles and crying to come.
"Oh, noes! 3 people down-voted my selfie!...boohoo..sob!"

Facebook is the new nicotine, the constant need to refresh the news feed!
Plus the needey who are excited by the number of likes they get, off set by those who fall out because suchabody didn't like their post.
Tiresome profile pics holding an alcoholic drink
The, I'm tired,bored, lonely.
The I'm having such a great time I'm missing the event & not actually speaking to everyone here...

Do not underestimate how much Facebook is a part of peoples lives now. I hope this is tested and if there is an adverse reaction it is amended to a heart type symbol to add empathy to a ‘sad’ story. Thumbs down may lead to what this represented in the Gladiators Arena.

Templar your dark humour is so refreshing!
I would like to know when faceberk will introduce a generic dislike button about the whole site which can be pressed without registering for that moronic data trawling monster.

I have just closed down my Facebook account because one of my 'friends' has supported a racist group on it and I was thoroughly disgusted and stated so.
