Facebook is reportedly being criticized by users for allegedly aping Twitter like trending feature.
The new feature designed to provide updates to users regarding certain topics, is available in several countries including U.S., U.K. and Canada.
Links to trending topics, including entertainment, sports and news, being talked about on Facebook are displayed at the right of the main news feed, the PC World reported.
Facebook users have lashed out at the popular social network saying the feature is in no way relevant and focuses more on celebrity gossip.
Meanwhile, Facebook responded to users' request to remove the trending section by saying that the feature can't be turned off, adding that it was open to feedback.
