Facebook adds option to remove comments function on public posts

Facebook is updating its platform to allow a public post to have comments limited or completely disabled.

The move was announced in a blog post by Facebook product manager Ramya Sethuraman. While some Australian pages are already seeing the new option, the full roll-out will be completed in the coming weeks.
