Summary:
- Meta, the company that owns Facebook, has filed a patent that would allow deceased users to continue posting on the platform even after they have passed away.
- The patent describes a system where the social media accounts of deceased users could be maintained and managed by an "agent" or representative, who could continue to post content on behalf of the deceased.
- This technology could allow people to maintain a digital presence and legacy even after they have died, but it also raises concerns about privacy, consent, and the potential for abuse.
