Facebook subscribers using the social network for business and other formal engagement may soon lose such opportunities as it works on major plans that will see more personal posts, and less public ones on news feed.
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said the plans will see facebook sharing less news feed from media and businesses, and focus more on personal interactions. The objective is to encourage people spending less time on the website, the CEO said.
“As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media.
“The public content you see more will be held to the same standard — it should encourage meaningful interactions between people,” Mark Zuckerberg wrote.
The chief executive explained that Facebook community has complained of a hike in the numbers of public posts on the social network in the past two years, which has been “crowding out” personal interactions.
Zuckerberg said the proposed changes would take months to get introduced. He added that he expected people to spend less time on Facebook and some other types of engagement to go down.
The end result, he said, will likely be good for the business in the long term.
