In February 2016, Facebook debuted Reactions, which enabled users to express sentiments other than like to a friend's status. In May, a number of Facebook posts and news articles asserted that police had warned users to avoid the feature because it was supposedly dangerous. According to TIME magazine's coverage, which was a bit less bombastic than the warnings, the Facebook Reactions feature eroded user privacy: The claim indeed originated from an advisory published by police in Belgium, in which they said that using the function affected Facebook's algorithmic arrangement of content and ads by assessing a user's mood: A number of posts and articles reported that police in general warned that the function was dangerous, but the original comment from Belgian police simply said said that the function could position Facebook better to arouse your curiosity. No information was included to substantiate the claim that Facebook Reactions constituted a meaningful threat to privacy.
