Twitter made an announcement a while back that they were going to purge dormant accounts. It led to an outcry from the loved ones of dead posters who wanted their accounts to remain as online memorials to them. Twitter have relented and are going to come up with a way to make that possible.I imagine this issue will require some sort of legislation in the future as people’s online lives get more and more complicated.
Relatives requesting access to Facebook and Instagram accounts to harvest the photos etc.
I can think of an example of a deceased member of CC. Re-reading his posts makes me happy and provides an education.
Pie, anyone?
And you might just be surprised at the amount of information the banks have on accounts held with them. And the lengths they go to to keep it.I suppose also how many dormant bank / building society accounts must be hanging around, people who die with no dependants, couples where one half looks after the finances and the other half lets them get on with it and has no idea where all the savings are invested.
Parents who pass away and the kids have no idea of what accounts their parents had, especially in this day and age where paper seems to be at a premium and everything is online.
Personally I have a printed copy of everything we have, which gets updated should we open or close an account, with all account details and it is housed under F for financial in a paper filing system should I go first so that Mrs RL can hopefully find it easily and get her hands on the money I should have spent on bikes and holidays!
Ironically he made himself even more infamous by doing so.I don't know. A certain person who shall not be named but who rhymes with Ted you later seems to have been erased from history.
