"We're thinking about it," said Zuckerberg. "It's an interesting question."

Zuckerberg said he didn't want a dislike button to become a way for users to be shame others on the site.

The Facebook CEO said a dislike button would make sense for instances when users wanted to express themselves but didn't feel comfortable using the like button.

As an example, Zuckerberg said a dislike button might help users express themselves on a post about a sad event in someone's life.

"You can always just comment," he said.

Although Facebook is definitely having conversations about a "dislike" button, you shouldn't expect anything right away on your News Feed.

"We don't have anything that's coming soon," he said.
