Facebook Just "Killed" a Large Number of Its Users, Including Mark Zuckerberg
The social media site apologizes.
It looks like Facebook had killed off a good chunk of its members on Friday, including either you or someone in your circle of friends and family. Even founder Mark Zuckerberg fell victim to the unexpected announcements. As it turns out, the popular social media platform experienced a glitch in which it gave personal accounts and pages the “memorialized” banner — it reads “Remembering (user name)… We hope people who love (user name) will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his/her life.”
“This was a terrible error that we have now fixed,” a representative said. “We are very sorry that this happened and we worked as quickly as possible to fix it.” Below are some twitter reactions to the incident:
I’m guessing Zuckerberg isn’t dead either… pic.twitter.com/9M9uaVsvjR

You could have just asked me to stop using the service you didn’t have to kill me off. @facebook #remembering #facebookdead pic.twitter.com/qeA01Ta2D1
