I'm guessing they're checking some sort of database for recently-deceased automatically. I don't see why it'd trigger an automatic deletion rather than setting the account to some sort of inactive status, though.
Edit: I'm wrong, it has to be specifically requested. I wonder how they determine whether the requester is privileged.
- mrbill 8y agoNope. You have to specifically request that an account be "memorialized", otherwise it stays there just like they've not logged in. I had to do it with my wife's when she passed away.
- mrbill 8y agoAnd "memorialization" just makes it so that the account can't post, log in, etc - but other people can still post to that account's "wall" - "we miss you" messages, etc.
- mrbill 8y agoI had to provide a picture of the death certificate and a link to an obit (IIRC, it's been nine years).
