"I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years," he explained. "Today is a special day because today is the day I can say we're working on it and shipping it."

Mark continued: "What [users] really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment."

A roll-out for the new option is expected soon, although the tech billionaire admitted: "It's surprisingly complicated to make an interaction that will be simple."
