heard a nice quote over the weekend
there are 3 sheep to every person in Wales, thus artificially inflating the average IQ
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

How should LinkedIn know if he is deceased 
|
|
|
|
|
they don't and it rises the question on how it can be built in law too tackle these kind of issues ...
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is no one drops the account. I was asked to approve skills for a person who died over a year ago.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, but how? You don't have the login credentials. Perhaps you could send a death certificate to linkedin. and facebook, outlook.com, gmail, yahoo, twitter, ...
|

|
|
|
Did not say you could, but your idea might work.

Death certificates aren't issued in the name of the user, same as birth certificates. My BC is not in the name of "OriginalGriff"
How would they tie the DC to the user, given the number of "John Smith" and "John Doe" there must be written on DC's already?

All/most social sites have processes to deal with dead people; either the account will be deactivated, removed, made read-only or turned into a "memorial".
LinkedIn, facebook, twitter, ... all have process for that.
Does CP have a policy for such event?
I'd rather be phishing!

Yes, they just set the user to Error 91...

Statistically, over 10 years, a lot of the 10,000,000 CPians must have already passed away.
I have made a list of my digital life for my survivors. Ironically, it is only when I die that my family and friends will learn about my virtual friends.

That is why they are considering the "LinkedOut" option.

How many websites have a method to handle this? After all, when someone passes on how can they possibly deactivate their account? And, if loved ones did not know their email password, they can't get access.
That's why CP has over 10,000,000 members but only around 60K-70K are ever online. Most have passed on. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hmmm. After all her slut flashing becomes uninteresting for even the media, the only option open to her for a big year may be joining with her spiritual clone, Justin Bieber, and going for the big-belly-year.
Considering the likely outcome, I'll be unable to eat for the reminder of the morning.

Let's just take a moment to imagine a Cyrus/Beiber bellybomb.
I can't think how it could happen, after all at least one has to be male...

That assumes they won't follow in the footsteps of "Dolly".
This helps get rid of the of the questions about species comparability, as well.
Nonetheless, good call on your part.
