What happens to the Facebook profile after the death of the owner?

One question few would expect is, "What happens to the Facebook profile if the owner dies?". How many of you have not been somewhat surprised that dead people still have a Facebook account and still appear as active? The pages left without new content risk turning into sad testimonies for the life of the departed, illustrated with pictures and comments inappropriate in the new context. So the administrators of the social network thought to allow users to designate a contact person, who in case of the death of the owner of the profile can continue to manage the page.

According to information published by Wall Street Journal, the settings of Facebook accounts will receive a new section with options for appointing a digital executor, so that after the death is confirmed, he will have the opportunity to choose between turning the profile page into a testimony for the deceased and deleting it completely.

Until now, after the death of a Facebook User, his profile page was simply frozen, with no new content. According to the same media source, the new settings are available to users in the United States starting today, with other countries to have access to them in the following days. It should be mentioned that the person appointed to administer the Facebook account will only be able to view public posts and comments, private photo albums and private messages will still remain hidden. The administrators of Facebook also confirm the fact that in the absence of the appointment of a digital executor on the pages of the social network, his appointment is possible even after death, provided that he is mentioned by name in the will of the deceased.
