Facebook's DISLIKE button is finally here

The tech giant has confirmed it will be rolling out a new set of emojis – dubbed Reactions – to replace its traditional Like button. Reactions will debut as part of a small pilot program, but could eventually roll out to the hugely popular social network's 1.49 billion monthly active users.

The new expressions will allow users to express a range of emotions including love, happiness, anger and sadness, which Facebook hopes will finally "address" the huge demand for a Dislike button.

Facebook chief product officer Chris Cox published a video demonstrating the new feature earlier this afternoon.
