In the span of just 48 hours this week, two separate juries in two different US states delivered verdicts that could reshape the entire social media industry — not because of the dollar amounts involved, but because of what those verdicts legally establish for the first time. On Tuesday, March 24, a jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375 million for failing to protect children from sexual exploitation on Facebook and Instagram. Less than 24 hours later, on Wednesday, March 25, a jury in Los Angeles found both Meta and Google (YouTube) liable for engineering addiction in young users — finding them negligent in the design of their platforms and awarding a further $6 million in damages. Two days. Two states. Two juries. Both pointing at the same conclusion: that Big Tech can no longer hide behind the legal shields it has relied on for nearly three decades. This is the story of what happened, why it matters far beyond the headline numbers, and what comes next for the s...
You clicked on the 'Like' button on a Facebook page and now you want to remove yourself from that page. Some users have found the like button so annoying that there is now a 'Dislike Button' group. The new 'Like' button is so innocent but if you click on it you automatically become a fan of the page you like.
The old button 'Become a fan' at least warned people about the implications of clicking on it. The new button however does not. So it you have clicked the like button and are now a fan of a certain page that you would rather leave here is what you need to do.
How to Unlike Something on Facebook1. Login to facebook.
2. Find the page you would like to leave. Search using the search bar on the top
3. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.
4. On the left hand side tool bar you will find the 'Unlike' button
5. Click that and your done
How to find page on which I have clicked the like button.
1. Login to Facebook
2. Click on Profile
3. Click on Info
4. Under 'Likes and Interests' you find pages you like when you clicked on the 'Like' button. You have the option to edit these pages and provide more info or simple click on the page go all the way down and click the 'Unlike' button if you no longer wish to be a fan.
Update: You now can use 'Activity Log'.
The "Like" button can be found on sites all over the internet. If you did click the like button found on that site and now have decided to change you mind. Go back to that site and click that same button which would now read "Unlike"

Do you have any idea how I can unlike something on likepanel.com? I am really annoyed that this thing http://www.likepanel.com/?id=3951 is between my interests on Facebook after I once clicked 'like' to it. It seems there is no unlike...
ReplyDeleteSuzan, I had the same problem as you. The solution is to follow the second set of instructions, above. The "likepanel" is found under your "Activities" section, click on "Remove". This worked for me.
ReplyDeleteI am having same problem and can't remove it
ReplyDelete@MBK. Thanks for the info on likepanel. It worked - whew!
ReplyDeletePlease help, this is sooooo frustrating. The like panel is not allowing me to remove that stinkin' link to http://www.likepanel.com/out.php?id=3951 !!! AAHH.
ReplyDeleteIn Facbook, click on your PROFILE TAB. Go into your profile, look under your picture on the left side of your profile page, click on EDIT MY PROFILE hyperlink. Look for the LIKES & INTERESTS tab, click on it, this should bring up the INTERESTS edit column. Remove likepanel here. Also look for the hyperlink to SHOW OTHER PAGES at the bottom of the LIKES & INTERESTS page & you can remove Likepanel there.
ReplyDeleteEddie: no you cannot... I have this really annoying entry under "Activities" that just cannot be removed (likeat.wongoindustry.com). Any help would be much appreciated!
