An unusual bug on Facebook briefly labelled many people as dead. The error occurred on Friday, when the social network showed a memorial banner on user profiles for people who were still alive.
So when you visit a friend or familiar profile you saw a memorial banner anouncing that this person is dead. Users posted status to anounce thas their friends and family were not dead, despite Facebook's message. Including Mark Zuckerberg was dead according Facebook.
After all of this problems, a Facebook spokesperson said sorry for the bug and that they will fix it.
The memorial feature was introduced by Facebook in 2015 because of a number of high-profile cases where family wanted to access the social accounts of deceased loved ones. When somebody dies his family could choose if the account will be deleted or will turn into a memorial page where friends can send support messages.
Personal opinion
In my opinion this is a crazy bug becouse if you are visiting a friend or family profile and you see that this person is dead you're going to scare. But for another part is cool because a lot of people takes it with humour and said things like this: " So glad the Facebook hoax was wrong and I'm not dead".
Vocabulary
