Meta announced on Monday that it would be sunsetting two once-major features on Facebook: The external "Like" and Comment" social plugins. In a post on its developer site, Meta shared that the FB Like and FB Comment buttons will officially be discontinued on February 10, 2026. According to Meta, developers won't have to do anything. The plugins will simply render as an invisible 0x0 pixel at the end date. Meta says none of these changes should impact any website's functionality.
The burden of building trust in AI lies with the developers, as we cannot overlook past experiences with technology that have led to societal challenges.
