Facebook Testing Downvote Button To Flag Inappropriate Comments
Facebook is reportedly testing downvote button to flag inappropriate comments so users can hide them. According to report, since this is still in a testing phase, it is only available to a limited set of public. A spokesperson from Facebook the aim of the downvote button is to create a way for users to provide a signal to Facebook about a comment is inappropriate, uncivil, or misleading.
We are not testing a dislike button. We are exploring a feature for people to give us feedback about comments on public page posts. This is running for a small set of people in the U.S. only.
How its works, is that when a user taps the downvote button, it will hide the comment and gives users additional reporting options like “Offensive”, “Misleading”, and “Off Topic”. When this is done, it will give Facebook a chance to review the comment to see the comment if it is objectionable, a form of “fake news” or irrelevant.
