Will you ever imagine that is going to happen? If you think it is not, you are very far from being right.
The world’s social media platform has made this revelation that will see the
ongoing operations of facebook accounts
of people who are dead. Initially, the account of anyone dead would be discontinued,
locked, banned or just be memorized. But now, Thursday 26th February 2015, will mark the start of
the immortality of any facebook account that will ever be in operation. What
does this mean? Will you be talking to immortals? If not, how and who will you
be talking to and you well know that the account’s owner died and perhaps you
attended their burial? Good concerns herein.
It is not a
mystery but legal issues that will see the owner of the account sign a document or even choose a person who will legally answer their chats, share
photos and post on their timeline long after the death of the account
owners. How will that work? Here is a
secret, log in to your account now and click at the top right corner on a place
indicated as “settings”. Starting with
those living in USA, they will see an option in their tabs that will ask them
to put security. This is where they will enter the name of the proposed account
administrator. This is incredible! As said earlier, this people will be in
charge of posting your stories and even updating not only your status but also
your photos. Remember that you have an option of deleting completely. That
means that it is not mandatory to choose the administrator to your account.
After all you are alive.
This program
is aimed at not only revamping this largest social
media that now has over 1.4 billion
people but also merge with others. Google for example, has a feature called
“inactive account manager” which allows you to access data and discard it
completely after a given set of time namely three, six and one year which is
equivalent of 12 months. The same feature in Google gives you the option to
choose who will manage your data. This has happened for quite some time. There
are also other services that Google has been treating customers to such as
YouTube, Google Plus and Blogger.
What of
other social sites such as Twitter? With this, it is exceptional. Tweeter
simply deactivates your account upon realizing that you are no longer in
existence. There is good reason why they do this: many people hardly use their
real names on Twitter accounts.
Yes, now
than ever before you can choose your own administrators after you are dead.
