Why Belgian Police Are Warning Facebook Users About Their Reactions:
Belgium’s federal police issued a public warning on Wednesday afternoon: Facebook’s reactions—the emoticons of laughter, amazement, anger, sadness and love that have joined the old “thumbs-up”—are actually there to erode your privacy.
Explaining that Facebook’s users are the product, the Belgian police wrote that the new reaction symbols help the social network to evaluate the effectiveness of its advertising.
Limiting the number of reactions to six encourages people to express their emotions more frequently and thereby help Facebook’s algorithms, the post read, adding that expressions of happiness tell Facebook when the time is ripe to show ads.
