Facebook Tests New Features Designed To Help People Post-Breakup

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Facebook is trying to help heal the pain of a broken heart by testing a few new features.

The features allow a person to limit what they see from a former flame and erase the name of their ex from previous posts that link to that person.

"This work is part of our ongoing effort to develop resources for people who may be going through difficult moments in their lives," the company added in a post online.
