The social network now lets you designate a ‘legacy contact’ for your digital afterlife
You can finally decide what happens to your Facebook account when you die.
In a change of heart, the world’s most popular social network will begin allowing its members to designate someone—what they call a “legacy contact”—to manage parts of their accounts posthumously. Members can also choose to have their presence deleted entirely.
Facebook and other Internet services walk a difficult tightrope between respecting the privacy of the deceased and the demands of grieving friends and family. Previously, Facebook automatically froze the accounts of members it learned had died, angering some heirs who wanted to edit the deceased’s online presence. It will roll out the new options to members in the U.S. on Thursday, with others to follow later.

Thank you so much! I have been doing a cucrriulum that is very structured for the passed two years with my girls. I have been looking for something that I could use to teach them at the same time. I think this is just what I have been praying for.God Bless!
