Facebook is expected to become a social network of the "living dead" around 2065, as the number of dead people's profiles will exceed the number of living people. To prevent this from happening, since it is still intended to maintain and establish contacts, Facebook is now also getting a (digital) will, which means that you can entrust the management of your profile to someone else after your death. Until now, it has only frozen, and even for that it was necessary to overcome many bureaucratic obstacles.
Ours Facebook the profile has lived on even now after death, but it is only vegetated. After receiving notification of death from family or friends, who were required to report the death using a dedicated form Registration of the deceased person's profile and attach proof or an obituary, Facebook has frozen the account (memory state). The profile was therefore available for viewing, but could not be accessed to change. This, however, disturbed many relatives of the deceased, who appealed to Facebook to allow them access. And Facebook listened. Thus, the process is now much simplified and also with more room for maneuver.
V wills (under Settings, where the digital will has/will appear "Legacy contact", ti posthumous guardianship) we can state that we authorize another person (e.g. a family member or friend), an executor who will managed the profile, when we are no longer among the living.

So Facebook is no longer turning into ghost town, which is largely the result of the market research he conducted Zogby, where more than two-thirds of respondents (71 percent) expressed the wish that their content remains private after death, unless they express otherwise. However, less than half (43 percent) want their profile deleted if they do not choose "heir", who will take over the scepter of the profile.
This option is currently available for Americans only, but the right to inherit a profile will soon be available elsewhere.
How's it going? I'm dead! My Facebook profile is live!
