In this age of social networks and public content that is left swarming the Internet, there is a great doubt about what happens to a user account if it dies For some time on Facebook they thought that the best option is to transform the profile of a missing person to display in reminder mode, where other users and contacts could celebrate life of said user with some memory comment, but vetoing any other type of control or management of this account.Now they have decided to give a twist and offer bequeath the management of a profile to a trusted contact
Thus, Facebook has begun to offer a service that allows a user (in life) to establish a contact so that manage different aspects of your profile when one has died Issues that, of course, do not allow you to keep an active and personalized wall as when it belonged to the user, but withcertain privileges and permissions to control the image offered of that profile of a deceased person.
With this, the person who stays in charge of the deceased's profile can now write a post that stays on top of the wallSomething well thought out to announce some trades, some kind of funeral or anniversary celebration, or any memory message that you want to keep visible to all those who visit the user's profile.
Having the legacy of a Facebook account also means having the power to manage friend requests And there is always a clueless relative or friend who did not have the time to add the deceased to Facebook This way you can give access to this profile as a later reminder.
Lastly, the new manager will also have access to modify the photos of the account Of course, only the box where the photo of profile and the panoramic image of cover Something that can help to give an image of respect and memory to the profile of a person.
Keep in mind that giving the legacy of a Facebook means giving permission to a contact to be able to download and archive all photos posted on this profile, but never so that you can impersonate your identity.You will not be able to see your private messages either,thus protecting the privacy and honor of the deceased person.
Another option offered by Facebook when notified of the death of one of its users is to completely delete your account, leaving no rest of it in this social network.
At the moment the option of bequeathing the management of a deceased person's user account to another contact is only available in United States , although the company has already confirmed its interest in taking it to more countries. This option Legacy Contact, is found in the menu Settings, from where you can send a message to a family member or close contact to offer you this option.
