Facebook is testing adding read receipts to Events, meaning that you’ll be able to see when a friend has seen your event invite, but is ignoring it (or at the very least is having to think about it).
Facebook already has read receipts for Messenger and Groups – which you can’t disable (without third-party help). Allowing event creators to know when a person hasn’t yet seen or has seen but is ignoring an invite could help them better plan – or at least prompt them to nudge the unsure friend along.
Or it could piss a lot of people off.
“We’re piloting the ability for private event hosts and guests to know whether their friends they invited have seen the event,” a Facebook spokesperson told The Daily Dot.
This is what Facebook’s new friendship destruction device (event read receipts) looks like
Of course, it’s just a test at this point and Facebook could abandon the idea. Hopefully.
