      That’s abuse and harassment.

      There’s no other way to look at it. It is not that relative, it’s fraud to claim it is, and it’s just disgusting to pull at the heart strings like this to make money.

    Meta knows that you don’t have to be dead for this to work, now you can respond to your friends on Facebook in a manner that most optimizes engagement… whether you want to or not.

    They also won’t let a little thing like you being dead stand in the way of their monetizing your data, it isn’t like you can sue them for impersonation or anything.

      I quit Facebook over a decade ago, but any gen AI thingie impersonating me will have to get drunk and post unfortunate things at 2 am and then delete them next day. Good luck to the poor dumb bastard.

    What an intellectually dishonest title. You can’t keep posting after your death; your persona and all the relationships you spent a lifetime building become commodities for Meta to profit from

      And Caprica, and Limitless (the tv show, not the movie). Probably others. (Even a Babylon 5 episode was related, but more fantasy than sci-fi.)
