LOS ANGELES: Twitter is reportedly set to scrap its “like” feature, a move that would be intended to improve the overall quality of the interactions on the platform. 

According to a report by the Telegraph, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told employees at an in-house event last week that he “was not a fan of the heart-shaped button” and that the social service would be eliminating it “soon”. Twitter, in a tweet Monday by its PR team responding to the Telegraph story, neither confirmed nor denied a plan to discontinue “likes”, saying only that it is “rethinking everything about the service” (including the “like” button).
