Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Technology that lets us speak to our dead relatives has arrived. Are we ready? by Vailhem

I know on Facebook, if you've died, you can have it set up so your profile and everything is deleted. I set mine up that way, should be in the settings iirc

You can also change it to a memorial page. I remember when there was a big fuss over what would happen to people’s social media feeds (especially Facebook) after they died. My mom told me it’s my job to lock her Facebook page after she passes.

I'm just going to create a script that deletes my feed and replaces it with a bunch of logical fallacies, links to malware and strings to delete tables in various database systems. Fuck their AI, they failed to agree to MY terms and conditions.

No. You should definitely log in to wish people a happy birthday and then be like "I don't know how that happened. It must be a message from beyond".

Mom only uses the page to keep up with other old geezers, none of her kids who she would wish happy birthday to are on Facebook LOL

Oh that's a bummer. Maybe have her add them.
