topic Do You Think FACEBOOK Users Should Be Able To Bequeathe Access To Their Accounts? in Community Chat https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Do-You-Think-FACEBOOK-Users-Should-Be-Able-To-Bequeathe-Access/m-p/305694#M130348 <P>I don't have a Facebook account and have no interest in getting one, so I'm not familiar with the Terms of Service their users agree to. However, there are a number of laws being considered that would allow users to specify who, if anyone, would be given access should they die. Apparently, there are a number of cases, one of which was highlighted in our Sunday paper, in which loved ones were given the password by users' friends and found solace in looking at photos and postings, until the account was removed by Facebook. Also, beneficiaries have been denied access even though the user made provisions for this in their wills. Again, I don't know whether this violates Facebook's policy.</P> <P>If someone wants to elect, via a will, that people have access to an account in this digital age, and laws are enacted to effect this, I wouldn't have a problem with it. What do you think?</P> Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:28:56 GMT Moonlady 2013-03-03T20:28:56Z Do You Think FACEBOOK Users Should Be Able To Bequeathe Access To Their Accounts? https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Do-You-Think-FACEBOOK-Users-Should-Be-Able-To-Bequeathe-Access/m-p/305694#M130348 <P>I don't have a Facebook account and have no interest in getting one, so I'm not familiar with the Terms of Service their users agree to.
