Facebook To Leave Privacy Settings Of Memorialized Accounts Unchanged; Create ‘A Look Back’ Videos For Deceased Users
Facebook announced two changes to the way it handles the accounts of users who have passed away: The privacy settings of memorialized profiles will now remain unchanged, rather than automatically being restricted to friends only; and users can request A Look Back videos for their deceased loved ones.

The social network credited John Berlin as the inspiration for the latter change, as the St. Louis resident posted a YouTube video that went viral, urging Facebook to allow him to see his deceased son’s A Look Back video.
