Facebook hides ‘likes’ in Australia trial to ease anxiety 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseFacebook has begun hiding the number of “likes” for posts in Australia, it said Friday, a trial designed to ease social pressure that could be rolled out worldwide. Facebook’s decision comes after it launched a trial in July to hide “likes” on the company’s other major social media platform, Instagram. The social media giant did not confirm how long the trial would run for. “We want to understand from people whether removing the total counts improves their experience, while also not limiting any positive interactions,” said Mia Garlick, of Facebook Australia.
