The Facebook Dislike button is coming – and it just might tear the online world apart!
Company co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the news on Tuesday, saying, "People have asked about the 'dislike' button for many years, and probably hundreds of people have asked about this, and today is a special day because today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it, and are very close to shipping a test of it."
Zuckerberg said the feature will be meant to "express empathy," saying, "If you are sharing something that is sad...then it may not feel comfortable to 'like' that post."

- How amazing your pet/child/significant other/car/house/new job is
- Your "Thanks so much for all the birthday love" post
