Should your Facebook page be deleted after you die?

Would you prefer if your Facebook profile was deleted after you die? Or would you prefer if it lived on as a memorial? When YouGov asked British people their thoughts on this issue, the majority of older Internet users wanted their Facebook pages deleted. This was especially evident among users over 60 - 71 percent of them wanted their profiles deleted. Among younger users, it was more mixed. 38 percent of 18-24 year olds wanted their page frozen while 23 percent wanted legacy contact.
