What is Facebook Memorialization?
When a Facebook user die, Then his facebook acount should also update that he is no more in this world. So, to prove that we memorialize another's facebook id. Facebook on Thursday announced a new feature for its social network, the addition of a Legacy Contact, or a person who will be allowed to control your account after you pass away — certainly, that must have been a problem for various Facebook users who might not have been able to access accounts of deceased relatives or close friends after their passing.

The new feature lets a user configure his or her legacy contact, who will be able to manage the account once the user dies. The legacy contact can pin posts to your Timeline, respond to friend requests and update your profile picture. Legacy contacts won’t be able to access your messages though, as they’ll actually manage your account from within their own, instead of getting your password or full, unrestricted access.
Moreover, the legacy contact will be able to manage someone’s account only after they let Facebook know that a person has passed away.
Legacy contacts will also be able to download an archive of the photos, posts and profile information that person has shared on Facebook, and even choose to delete the account if they so desire.
In the event that an account remains active, a “Remembering” mention will be added above the deceased person’s name on Facebook.
How Facebook Memorialization Works?
Facebook in India has been selective in curbing hate speech, misinformation and inflammatory posts, particularly anti-Muslim content, according to leaked documents obtained by The Associated Press, even as its own employees cast doubt over the company’s motivations and interests.
From research as recent as March of this year to company memos that date back to 2019, the internal company documents on India highlight Facebook’s constant struggles in quashing abusive content on its platforms in the world’s biggest democracy and the company’s largest growth market. Communal and religious tensions in India have a history of boiling over on social media and stoking violence.
The files show that Facebook has been aware of the problems for years, raising questions over whether it has done enough to address these issues. Many critics and digital experts say it has failed to do so, especially in cases where members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP, are involved.
Across the world, Facebook has become increasingly important in politics, and India is no different.
Modi has been credited for leveraging the platform to his party's advantage during elections, and reporting from The Wall Street Journal last year cast doubt over whether Facebook was selectively enforcing its policies on hate speech to avoid blowback from the BJP. Both Modi and Facebook chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have exuded bonhomie, memorialized by a 2015 image of the two hugging at the Facebook headquarters.
