Meta Explores Dislike Button for Instagram Comments
Meta is once again testing a dislike button for comments on Instagram, aiming to downrank overly negative and harmful comments. Users can now see a downvote arrow next to comments, allowing them to signal their dislike for a particular remark. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri explained that the button is a way to address harmful remarks and create a more friendly environment on the app. This testing follows previous attempts by Meta to implement downvotes on Facebook comments in 2018 and group comments in 2020. However, concerns about potential misuse and coordinated brigading remain, leading to caution in the test rollout.
