Facebook has confirmed that it is conducting a brief test of the comment moderation feature on a small set of English-speaking Android users.

A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement:

He further added:

Unlike the “like” button or “Reactions,” the downvote button isn’t about giving feedback to commenters but rather to Facebook. The intention is to give users a way to flag inappropriate, uncivil or misleading comments.

However it has been reported by the company that there are currently no plans to expand the feature.
