Facebook’s “like” and “share” buttons are seen 22 billion times a day, making them some of the most-viewed design elements ever created. Margaret Gould Stewart, Facebook’s director of product design, outlines three rules for design at such a massive scale—one so big that the tiniest of tweaks can cause global outrage, but also so large that the subtlest of improvements can positively impact the lives of many.

This lady promote Facebook as being designed around users and not the other way around…FALSE. I can understand the lack of disLike on Facebook since is a network promoting friendship and you don;t want "friends" disliking your posts.
