Facebook Mark Zuckerberg explains why there is no "unlike" button on Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg explained "we have to figure out a way to do it so it doesn't become a force for bad but for good and positive stuffs people are posting out there".

"There are different emotions expressed. We just chose the most positively appropriate. which is the like button.. Likewise, same can be said of hate, anger, indifference, sneer, etc. These emotions can be expressed as emoticons or otherwise but the like button at the position it is on posts is the primary objective of Facebook, which is to spread as much positives as possible."

Here’s a video from our Townhall Q&A today at Facebook HQ, where I answer the top voted question about why we don’t have a dislike button on Facebook.
For today’s Q&A, people flew in and submitted videos from around the world to ask questions ranging from our plans for improving search and why we update our privacy policy to how Facebook can help create stronger communities.
I appreciate the time so many of you put into asking questions and traveling to speak with us. Open discussions like this are an important part of our community, and a good opportunity for us to learn how to make Facebook better.
