So much for free speech, eh?
Facebook has tweaked how comments are displayed on the free-content advertising network by allowing it to effectively filter out irrelevant or possibly abusive replies on a Page.
The new feature will be switched on by default on 10 July for profiles with more than 10,000 followers. And for now, it’s consigned only to the desktop version of Facebook. The company said it will make the function available in the Graph API and mobile at a later unspecified date.
Facebook explained:
You and your readers will have the ability to reply directly to comments left on your Page content and start conversation threads, which will make it easier for you to interact directly with individual readers and keep relevant conversations connected.
