Facebook on April 9 improved features of social network accounts kept as memorials to deceased members of the online community. Memorialized accounts are intended to serve as venues for friends and family to share memories and thoughts of those who have passed away, and are secured to prevent anyone from logging in, according to Facebook.
Updates included addition of a separate tributes section where people can share posts, while not changing the original timeline of an account.
More than 30 million people view memorialized profiles each month, according to Facebook, which four years ago added an option for users to name a "legacy contact" with the authority to manage an account after someone's death.
The update gave legacy contacts the ability to moderate posts shared in the new tributes section, according to Sandberg.
