Twitter's potential removal of the like button forms part of an effort to create a healthier climate of debate on the platform, the Telegraphreports.
Dorsey hinted at his dissatisfaction with the like function earlier this month when he spoke at the WIRED25 summit.
"We have a big like button with a heart on it and we’re incentivizing people to want it to go up," Dorsey said. "Is that the right thing? Versus contributing to the public conversation or a healthy conversation? How do we incentivise healthy conversation?"
On the platform in question, people were pretty surprised by Dorsey's attitude to the 'like' button.
