“#One for the haters: Twitter<\/a> considers adding a dislike button<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Over the years there have been two missing components everyone on Twitter moans about: the notorious edit option and the dislike button. Well, it turns out we might be getting one of those in the future.<\/p>\n

Responding to a tweet from security expert Jackie Singh, Twitter product lead Kayvon Beykpour revealed the company is \u201cexploring\u201d adding a dislike button to its platform \u2014 but it\u2019s simply not one of its most urgent priorities.<\/p>\n

\n

#1, 2 and 4 are literally our top priority (making the public conversation on Twitter) and has been for years. We\u2019ve made a lot of progress but still lots to do. We do feel it\u2019s important to solve other problems too! As for #3, this is something we\u2019re exploring.<\/p>\n

Instead, Twitter is currently concentrating its efforts on cutting the spread of inauthentic behavior, enhancing the safety of its users with better tools to curb and report harassment, and cracking down on misinformation that could have harmful effects on its\u00a0users.<\/p>\n

Anyone who actively uses Twitter already knows the company has spent a considerable amount of time on battling harassment and the spread of misinformation on its platform. Indeed, it has introduced a slew\u00a0of features aimed at solving those two issues over the years.<\/p>\n

More recently, the company shared it had labeled over 300,000 tweets for election misinformation, some of which were posted by none other than US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

To be fair, Twitter has previously experimented<\/a> with the idea of a dislike button, although not quite in the same way its \u201clike\u201d button works.<\/p>\n

The company had briefly made it possible for users to report tweets they don\u2019t like, but it was impossible for other users to see a tally of the dislikes a tweet had received. It\u2019s unclear if Twitter is exploring any alternatives beyond this, but time will tell.<\/p>\n

Until then, you\u2019ll simply have to do with the good old ratio<\/a>.<\/p>\n
