Your contact information about closing and dealing with deceased’s social accounts is useful.

Hopefully you will keep up this stream and let us know what new developments you may find.

All what you suggest in your article is possible within http://www.yourafterlife.com.

You can put in automatic actions and reminder which will happen when you wish.

Best regards,

My next-of-kins have my login info, but I’d like to cover that base with FB, too.

Because we can’t see social media servers, i.e. clouds, we think of them as big as the sky itself. Infinite. But they’re not.

I do think eventually this is what will see. If the site’s “detectors,” do not notice any activity over “x,” period of time, either because that person is deceased, or rarely visits/posts/uploads they will have to initiate a use it or lose it policy. Unless you can formally designate it a memorial page & even then not all content may remain.

Upon creating your page you will agree if ” x site ,” is not used at least ” x times,” over a period of “x,” the site/page will automatically be deleted.Some would cry UNFAIR, but if it meant charging others, trust me, they’d rather you lose it than having to pay for it.

Or we could see different packages from FREE to various Premium Packages, which wouldn’t be a bad thing. At the very least a limit on bandwidth or uploads would stop you cousin Sheila from posting 82,000 photos of herself on vacation.

Lastly there is no proof all the portable hard drives, & servers will last indefinitely. Hacking aside, until Marty McFly comes back from the future to prove the photos you’ve stored on your personal terabyte drive or in the cloud did indeed last, you have to believe some, maybe many, will have crashed. If you’re lucky most of the data lost will be Aunt Sheila’s vacation photos.
