Batu69 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Facebook apologizes for 'terrible error' that told people they died A Facebook bug caused people's profile pages to display that they have died on Friday. Multiple Business Insider employees reported seeing the message at the top of their Facebook profiles Friday afternoon, and the bug even affected Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. As of around 4 p.m. ET, people started reporting that the message was gone from their profiles. Facebook later apologized for the "terrible error" in a statement to Business Insider. Screenshot “For a brief period today, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts," a Facebook spokesperson said. "This was a terrible error that we have now fixed. We are very sorry that this happened and we worked as quickly as possible to fix it.” Before the bug was fixed, visitors to the Facebook's CEO profile were greeted with a somber notification: "We hope people who love Mark will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his life," the message read. The message included a link to Facebook's request form for memorializing the account of someone who has died. People using Facebook's app also reported seeing the message.

I wouldn't believe anything that was on facebook except maybe Mark Zuckerberg is dead because he sure smells like it. In other words he stinks. Really! You don't know how to resolve that problem? I told both of my exes as we were going through the divorces that if they tried to get spousal support or touch any of my retirements they wouldn't live long enough to spend the first penny. Knowing what I have done in my life they took me at my word and I haven't heard a peep out of either of them since they told the judge they didn't want spousal support or a piece of my retirements. Both times the judge told them if they changed their minds they could file for it later, but I never married a stupid woman so they are too smart to try that. In all fairness, I did pay the first wife child support for 19 years because it was worth it to be around her and harass her about visitation and other things. And she thought being married to me was bad. Surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
