On March 7, according to the daily mail, the United States the statisticians declared that social network Facebook will become the world′s largest virtual cemetery. By the end of this century, the deaths will exceed the number of users on the Facebook live users.

Facebook currently has 1.5 billion users around the world, it performs refused to automatically delete, death records, policies, user accounts instead of death into a "Commemorative Edition" account. This means that by 2098, the deaths will soon exceed the number of users on the Facebook live users.

United States statistics PhD student Haximu·sadiji, University of Massachusetts (Hachem Sadikki) said he assumed that Facebook′s growth will soon start to slow to arrive at the figures. In the United States, 70% adults have a Facebook account, United Kingdom more than half of adults are Facebook users.

Amir Hossein sadeqi also assumes that Facebook will always deal with death the current policy of the user account. In accordance with this policy, when users after the death of Facebook accounts are not deleted, but turn it into a "Commemorative Edition" account. Deleting user accounts of death only means that someone has their password, login account will be closed. But given that almost no one will leak their own login password for this account in user to keep as a Memorial after the death.

Online estate planning company called Digital Beyond claims only in 2016, the world will have died 970,000 Facebook users. In 2010 and 2012, the figures were 385968 and 580,000 people. Facebook user account policy triggered many criticisms of death, many families prefer to have gained control of the family account. Many users had died, but whose birthday will appear on other user news stream.

Facebook tried to require users to set up "personal contacts" to solve this problem. The so-called "personal contact" is that Facebook users after the death of someone in charge of enforcing their will. The account of the death of this person may be responsible for the management and even to approve new friend requests, your cover photo and personal data can also be updated, and so on.

When asked about deaths will exceed the number of users live users, Facebook declined to comment on this.

3月7日，据每日邮报报道，美国统计学家宣称，社交网络Facebook将成为世界上最大的虚拟墓地。到本世纪末，Facebook上的死亡用户数量将超过活人用户。

Facebook目前在全球拥有15亿用户，它执行拒绝自动删除死亡用户档案的政策，反而将死亡用户账号变成“纪念版”账号。这意味着，到2098年，Facebook上死亡用户数量很快将超越活人用户数量。

美国马萨诸塞大学统计学博士生哈希姆·萨迪基（Hachem Sadikki）说，他假设Facebook的增长很快将开始放缓，从而得出上述数字。在美国，70%的成年人拥有Facebook账号，英国半数以上成年人是Facebook用户。

萨迪基还假设，Facebook将始终实行处理死亡用户账号的当前政策。按照这个政策，当用户去世后，Facebook不会删除账号，而是将其变成“纪念版”账号。删除死亡用户账号的唯一方式就是有人拥有他们的密码，登录账户后将其关闭。可是鉴于几乎没有人会泄漏自己的登录密码，为此账号在用户去世后多保留为纪念版。

名为Digital Beyond的在线遗产规划公司宣称，仅在2016年，全球就将有97万名Facebook用户去世。2010年和2012年，这一数字分别为385968人和58万人。Facebook处理死亡用户账号的政策引发许多批评，许多家庭更希望获得亲人账号的控制权。许多用户尽管已经去世，但其生日依然会出现在其他用户新闻流中。

Facebook试图通过要求用户设定“遗产联系人”解决这个问题。所谓“遗产联系人”就是Facebook用户去世后，负责执行他们遗嘱的人。这个人可负责管理过世者的帐号，甚至可批准新的好友申请，还能更新你的封面和个人资料照片等。

当被问及死亡用户数量将超过活人用户时，Facebook拒绝对此予以置评。
