 Kamel - After reading this piece, I was reminded of this TIME article. It discusses Facebook's and Myspace's policies regarding deceased users, and also discusses services that individuals can use to protect their legacy, such as Legacy Locker? . You appear to focusing more on legal remedies, which is very interesting, but it also might be useful to discuss possible non-legal remedies for this problem. For example, do you think this is an issue that could be dealt with through provisions in a will?

Hi Kamel, I enjoyed reading your piece, and it reminded me of the general conversation we had in class regarding social networking sites commodifying relationships. Although commodifying death is unfortunately nothing new, sites like facebook achieve that process more simply and subtly, which I think you touch upon when you refer to facebook as a "modern burial place." I was also curious whether your focus is mainly on information available on social networking sites like facebook, since you briefly discuss information found through Google as well.

and delete it. It will be near the bottom of the page in edit mode. I also modified the hyperlinks since they previously all linked to http://.../. All I did was copy the text of the link that you included in your essay into the hyperlink code. Here's how it works so you can do it too (I'm copying from Justin's explanation of this elsewhere). A link should be coded in edit view like this:
