Social network giant Facebook has announced a new feature that will let users control who can comment on their posts that are public. The feature has been introduced to curb the amount of hate speech that is pervading the platform. Another social media platform Twitter also introduced a similar feature last year where it allowed users to restrict replies to their tweets.

On March 31st, Facebook introduced News Feed, a new tool to give users more control over what they see and how they share. This feature will enable you to control who can comment on any given public post through a menu of options ranging from anyone who can view the posts to only the people and Pages you tag. Meaning, the user has the power to invite and limit conversation and interactions on their own posts. These options also extend to public figures, creators or brands.

Facebook will now allow users and page admins control who can comment on their posts, a move to curb hate speech on its platform, it confirmed in a statement.
(Pocket-lint) - Facebook is introducing a Feed Filter Bar feature that will give you more precise control over your news feed. It basically lets you see posts chronologically - or by most recent, in the order they were posted - by simply toggling away from its usual algorithmic feed.
Technically, the company has offered users the option to sort feeds by “most recent , but it buried it in a settings menu. Facebook also launched a Favourites feature last October that allows users to select up to 30 friends and pages so that Facebook will display posts from them in a separate feed. Now, Favorites and Recents are front and centre - at the top of the news feed in separate tabs.
