Facebook is testing out a ‘downvote’ feature
Facebook appears to be rolling out a new ‘downvote’ feature that will sit in the comments section below a post. The feature will reportedly allow users to vote down comments in ranking; it’s currently being tested on a very limited scale in the US.
While nothing has been confirmed from Facebook’s side, users are sharing their experience with the surprise update on Twitter. Here’s a clip of what Facebook ‘Downvote’ looks like:

It’s unsure if Facebook will roll out the feature worldwide, though millions of users would gladly welcome the power to ‘dislike’ content on their feed. Will this be the end to online trolling? We’ll have to wait and see.
