It's hard to imagine they'd have a special button for pedophiles.

Facebook launches Schadenfreude button

Sympathy can't be reduced to a Facebook button | Melissa Bradshaw | Comment is free | theguardian.com

What would it mean to turn sympathy into a button? Apparently Facebook has already done so although has not yet made plans to launch it. The button has been developed as a solution to the difficulty of responding with "likes" to a status where someone posts bad news – as if users were not already able to negotiate this small hurdle.

Facebook is proposing a menu of negative emotions that you can select when posting your status, choosing from which will allow people to respond with sympathy. But there's already the option of commenting on rather than liking bad news statuses – so if someone posts that they're ill, for example, you can write "get well soon" instead of risking looking like you're happy about their condition. Given the flexibility that already exists, a sympathy button seems both patronising towards users, and as though Facebook is trying to encroach further into the range and distribution of human emotions by turning them all into clickable options.
