社交媒体很少是人们在生命结束或亲人去世时考虑的事情之一，但Facebook创造了一个纪念设置和Facebook页面的世界，这些页面属于那些不再与我们在一起的人(those that are no longer with us)。
这些纪念(Memorialization)设置有助于确定您的Facebook帐户在您去世时会发生什么。本文将帮助您为自己设置设置并为其他人纪念页面。
如何设置Facebook 纪念设置(Facebook Memorialization Settings)
在你生命的尽头，给自己留下一种在线纪念(behind a sort of online memorial to yourself)可能会很好。Facebook为您提供以下两种选择。
- 设置一个“旧联系人”(Set a “Legacy Contact,”) ，在您离开后管理您的Facebook页面的人。(Facebook)旧版联系人(Legacy Contact)可以接受好友请求、更改封面和个人资料照片以及发布致敬信息。
- 彻底删除您的 Facebook 帐户(Delete your Facebook account completely)。这与停用不同，意味着您帐户的所有痕迹都将从 Facebook 的服务器中永久删除。
如何添加旧版联系人
在添加旧联系人(Legacy Contact)之前，请与该人谈谈接受责任。这是一项艰巨的工作，而不是令人愉快的工作——毕竟，他们的任务是在个人悲剧发生后处理社交媒体。如果此人同意，则您可以将其设置为联系人。
为此，请按照以下步骤操作：
- 单击Facebook页面右上角个人资料图片旁边的向下箭头。(down-arrow beside your profile picture)
- 选择设置和隐私(Settings & privacy) > Settings > Memorialization settings。
- 在“选择朋友”字段中，输入朋友的姓名(type a friend’s name)并选择“添加(Add)” 。
这将通知该人您已选择他们作为旧联系人(Legacy Contact)，但在您的帐户被纪念之前不会再次通知他们。
如何在死后删除 Facebook
如果您决定希望在您去世后 删除您的 Facebook 帐户，请按照以下步骤操作。(Facebook account be deleted)
- 选择Facebook页面 右上角个人资料图片旁边的向下箭头。(down arrow beside your profile picture )
- 选择Settings & privacy > Settings > Memorialization settings。
- 选择请求在您去世后删除您的帐户(Request that your account be deleted after you pass away)。
- 选择死后删除(Delete After Death)。
死亡(Death)对每个人来说都是现实，你需要考虑在你离开后你的社交媒体账户会发生什么。
如何纪念另一个帐户
如果朋友或家人在未选择纪念设置的情况下去世，您可以请求Facebook纪念该帐户。再一次，您有两个选择。
- 您可以要求Facebook为该帐户创建一个纪念页面，或者
- 您可以要求完全删除该帐户。
如何申请 Facebook 纪念帐户(How To Request Facebook Memorialize An Account)
如果您希望Facebook为亲人创建一个永久的在线纪念馆，请按照以下步骤操作：
- 在 Facebook 上填写纪念申请(Memorialization Request)页面。
- 填写(Fill)用户的Facebook 网址(Facebook URL)、确切的死亡日期、死亡文件（您可以上传的文件——讣告页面、死亡证明或纪念卡）以及您的电子邮件地址。
- 如果您不知道确切的死亡日期，请与另一位朋友或家人交谈以找出答案。
- Facebook将在页面被纪念后与您联系。由于(Due)Covid期间人员有限，此请求可能需要比正常时间更长的时间。
如何请求删除页面(How To Request The Removal Of a Page)
如果您希望Facebook删除已故朋友或家人的页面，则需要提交特殊请求。即使此人在医疗上无行为能力，您也可以请求删除页面。
- 提交您的全名、您的联系电子邮件、死者个人资料的全名、个人资料的链接以及帐户的电子邮件地址。
- 然后Facebook将与您联系，要求提供死亡证明。
- 如果您没有此人的死亡证明，您可以提交委托书证明、出生证明、遗嘱和遗嘱或遗产证明。您也可以提交纪念卡作为证明。
虽然社交媒体和死亡不是讨论的有趣话题，但您最不想做的就是让您自己或所爱之人的个人资料保持开放供任何人使用(remain open for anyone to use)。纪念页面后，它的外观会发生变化，并且“纪念”一词将(Remembering)出现在其个人资料中此人的姓名旁边。
即使您没有计划很快摆脱凡人线圈，最好现在弄清楚您的设置，以防最坏的情况发生。
How to Set Up Facebook Memorialization Settings
Social media is rarely one of the things people consider at the end of their lives or when a loved one passes away, but Facebоok has created a world of memorialization settings and Facebook pages that belong tо those that are no longer with us.
These Memorialization settings help determine what happens to your Facebook account when you pass on. This article will help you set up settings for yourself and memorialize a page for someone else.
How To Set Up Facebook Memorialization Settings
At the end of your life, it may be nice to leave behind a sort of online memorial to yourself. Facebook provides you with the following two options.
- Set a “Legacy Contact,” someone who will manage your Facebook page after you’re gone. A Legacy Contact can accept friend requests, change cover and profile photos, and post tribute messages.
- Delete your Facebook account completely. This is different from deactivation and means that all traces of your account will be removed from Facebook’s servers permanently.
How To Add a Legacy Contact
Before you add a Legacy Contact, speak to the person about accepting the responsibility. It’s a big job, and not a pleasant one–after all, they’re tasked with dealing with social media after a personal tragedy. If the person agrees, then you can set them as a contact.
To do this follow the steps below:
- Click the down-arrow beside your profile picture at the top-right of your Facebook page.
- Choose Settings & privacy > Settings > Memorialization settings.
- In the field that says Choose a friend, type a friend’s name and select Add.
This will notify the person that you have chosen them as a Legacy Contact, but they will not be notified again until your account has been memorialized.
How To Delete Facebook After Death
If you decide that you would rather your Facebook account be deleted after you pass away, follow the steps below.
- Select the down arrow beside your profile picture at the top-right of your Facebook page.
- Select Settings & privacy > Settings > Memorialization settings.
- Select Request that your account be deleted after you pass away.
- Select Delete After Death.
Death is a reality for everyone, and you need to consider what will happen to your social media accounts after you’re gone.
How To Memorialize Another Account
If a friend or family member passes away without choosing their memorialization settings, you can request that Facebook memorialize the account. Once again, you have two options here.
- You can request that Facebook create a memorial page for the account, or
- You can request that the account be removed completely.
How To Request Facebook Memorialize An Account
If you want Facebook to create a permanent online memorial to a loved one, follow the steps below:
- Fill out a Memorialization Request page on Facebook.
- Fill out the user’s Facebook URL, the exact date of death, documentation of death (a file you can upload – an obituary page, death certification, or memorial card), and your email address.
- If you do not know the exact date of death, speak with another friend or family member to find out.
- Facebook will contact you when the page has been memorialized. Due to limited staff during Covid, this request might take longer than normal.
How To Request The Removal Of a Page
If you would prefer Facebook remove the page of a deceased friend or family member, you need to submit a special request. You can request the removal of a page even if the person is medically incapacitated.
- Submit your full name, your contact email, the full name of the deceased’s profile, a link to the profile, and the account’s email address.
- Then Facebook will contact you requesting proof of death.
- If you do not have the person’s death certificate, you can submit proof of power of attorney, birth certificate, last will and testament, or estate letter. You can also submit a memorial card as proof.
While social media and death are not fun topics to discuss, the last thing you want is to allow your own profile or that of a loved one to remain open for anyone to use. After you have memorialized a page, it will change in appearance, and the word Remembering will appear next to the person’s name on their profile.
Even if you have no plans to shuffle off the mortal coil anytime soon, it’s a good idea to figure out your settings now in case the worst happens.
