I actually think removing likes means there is no external reporting which posts go viral. It means trusting FB even more than we do now. Why? https://t.co/YAQk9SWaVv

Facebook might follow Instagram in removing Like counts. If Twitter did this with Likes and Retweets, it'd kill ratio-mocking of bad tweets overnight — a mixed blessing https://t.co/uHCuUNaKp0

Facebook could soon start hiding the Like counter on News Feed posts to protect users’ from envy and dissuade them from self-censorship. https://t.co/iWFdSnIuym pic.twitter.com/6zd5cO2Dk0

Once the goal was a million “friends”...then shares and likes.....the power of connectivity is actually in the one to one....not as sexy for investors and advertisers...but maybe more engaging..., https://t.co/OKVnuzYgbz

Social platforms have known as early as 2014 that social media impacts mental health and only now is Facebook starting to hide like counts https://t.co/PFZokF5VwU via @wongmjane pic.twitter.com/KRgMFSh5lW

The fact that Facebook is following suit after Instagram indicates they have confidence the pros of hiding like counts outweigh the conshttps://t.co/WnUrM12aZg

Too little too late. Those that are self-censoring already did so... by leaving the platform entirely.

(and frankly, it wasn't like counts that caused me to leave, it was the toxicity of the platform).https://t.co/l3UhsG7Tof

Just few hours ago, I found that Facebook is considering to hide like countshttps://t.co/WnUrM12aZg
It's not just Instagram hiding 'like' counts: Facebook is prototyping a hidden like/reaction count feature in their Android app too, investigative engineer @wongmjane findshttps://t.co/fIJCLFAM83

Facebook is now testing hiding like counts on posts too https://t.co/EzZXKBINIK pic.twitter.com/9ySmnNAVhD

Just like Instagram, Facebook is also toying round with hiding like counts for posts. This is a great move IMO.

페이스북 좋아요 카운트도 숨길 생각 https://t.co/vreXq95xFs

• 게시물 작성자 이외의 사람으로부터 "좋아요"/ 리액션 카운트를 숨겨 사용자가 자신의 콘텐츠의 인지도에 대해 걱정할 필요가 줄어 듭니다.

How do I get more self-censorship on my Facebook feed? “Facebook could soon start hiding the Like counter on News Feed posts to protect users’ from envy and dissuade them from self-censorship.” https://t.co/PWi8ffSonq

Am I alone in thinking this is a terrible idea? I like audience feedback. Now Facebook says it may remove Like counts. https://t.co/OFIFZHMquS https://t.co/OFIFZHMquS

Facebook is trying really hard to change their business model. After 15 years and a mature revenue model, you have to wonder if they can. #CloutHub was built right from the start. https://t.co/zWP4Ci7U3a
