Facebook will use AI to stop suggesting you invite dead friends to events

The company is making several changes to how it deals with accounts that have been memorialized, including one that will attempt to put a stop to birthday reminders and event notifications for friends who have died.

With the newly announced changes, Facebook will try to prevent accounts that have been memorialized from showing up in notifications.

It may sound like a rather obvious change , but it's one that could make things less painful for those who are grieving.

Facebook is also giving more control to legacy contacts the individuals who are responsible for looking after a person's Facebook account after it's been memorialized.
