Facebook has 28 million dead people.

Wow

+ 1

FB probably: 'Find a way to generate value from this.'

@ElectroArchiver they might find a way to charge families for that “cyberspace” like digital tombs

@BillLumbergh That sounds like something Meta will come up with in case Metaverse fails.

I didn’t know they had that many employees. Huge company.

@Sid2006 collaboration with amazon (who are already deepfaking voices):

AIs impersonating the dead, but you can ONLY speak to them in the metaverse. and if you don't, they periodically send you nagging messages to come and visit them.

@tosensei That's weird and creepy af

@ElectroArchiver surprisingly they did find a way to generate value from that

Plus 1🤣

@tosensei and imagine we have chips in our brains for "entertainment purposes" and big corpos decides to add some more ads. Your dead relatives pops out of nowhere asks why you don't visit them in an app called "Family Reunion" and they keep getting angry over time if you don't open the app.

The worst part is something like this will probably gonna happen.

This is some creepypasta

@Sid2006 and the sad part:

it's COMPLETELY withing the realm of possibility.

and someone with too much money is gonna do it, because it could be profitable.

@hack yeah.

too many people seem to see Black Mirror as instruction manual.

The big question is, are the shareholders satisfied?

@Nanos that would require them to know a government unique identifier that they could use to subscribe to who died.

In Sweden you can do that but in the US I am not sure you have quite the similar system.

And you would need one for every country and also force users to register with such an info, which they do not today.

So if they get told someone died and can verify it they will remove it but I have seem many news stories about people that have tried to get dead relatives removed and failed since FB do not accept the claim that the account holder is dead.

@Sid2006 "in case"

They should have a template like this for the deceased.

They should make a coffin badge as verified dead person, just like the verified accounts badge and charge people 8$ for that, twitter is no better for charging people ...
