(Reuters) – Facebook Inc. has removed the “like” button from its redesigned public pages used by artists, public figures and brands, the social media company said on Wednesday.

Facebook pages will only show followers and have a dedicated news feed where users can join conversations, interact with colleagues and interact with fans, the company said in a blog post. (bit.ly/3b8MExI)
