Why Facebook will never have a 'Dislike' button.


I keep seeing people complaining FB needs an Dislike button.

What people don't understand is, a Dislike button would give popular kids within groups of school friends the ability to harass particular, unpopular or misfit kids by stalking their profile and Disliking all of their content. This could potentially result in increased suicide rates, school shootings, blackmail, damaged and severed relationships, general crime and chaos, and parents suing Zuckerberg as a result. Some people build their careers around FB... you can imagine the destructive power of a Dislike button.

FB's better off as it is now, where the absence of Likes indicates fewer people like it, but without the frostbitten statements of disapproval - let alone where everyone can see them.
