Facebook will no longer change your privacy settings after you die, but will make you a Look Back video

The advent of social media profiles has created an interesting problem, from a philosophical perspective: what happens to your profile after you lot die? Originally they would just become dormant unless somebody had your password, but then Facebook updated their policy to place the profiles of our dearly departed into a "memorial" mode where visibility was restricted to only friends. But starting today, Facebook is irresolute that.

Up to now, when a person's account was memorialized, we restricted its visibility to friends-only. This meant that people could no longer see the business relationship or any of its content unless they were Facebook friends with the person who passed away. Starting today, we volition maintain the visibility of a person's content as-is. This volition allow people to see memorialized profiles in a fashion consistent with the deceased person's expectations of privacy. Nosotros are respecting the choices a person made in life while giving their extended community of family unit and friends ongoing visibility to the same content they could always run across.

Additionally, Facebook is offering users the option to create a posthumous "Wait Back" video (by 'users' we mean the live ones — they haven't figured out Facebook Afterlife… withal). Reacting to a plea from John Berlin of Missouri, the father of Jesse, who passed away in 2022, Facebook did the work to make it possible to create Look Back videos for memorialized accounts, saying that "John'south request touched the hearts of everyone who heard it, including ours."

Every bit the biggest and most interconnected social network out there, Facebook also sees the most death among its ranks. In fact, in October of last year, XKCD tackled the question of when Facebook's expressionless volition outnumber living members, and the reply was sometime in the next 50 to 120 years. It's however an interesting philosophical fence: what happens to your digital presence later y'all're no longer nowadays?
