I’ve decided that should I pass away while the majority of these social networking sites continue to be active that I would like my accounts on them deleted after they are given proof that I have passed away. Luckily for me, Facebook actually allows you to select that now. You have to jump through a whole bunch of hoops affirming that you are “sure” (yes, I am sure) that you would in fact like your account to be deleted after your death that I’m positive you wouldn’t have to jump through if you selected someone to be your legacy contact to update your Facebook in the event of your passing, but I mean, it is what it is at this point. For several years, I did have a legacy contact, although I came to realize that I had set one more for them than I did for myself and that if I were going to be making these kinds of decisions about what to do with my social networking accounts after my passing, why not just have done what I want to have done with them to begin with? And should both of the boys’ fathers outlive me — or even one of them — I don’t want any information about us to fall into the wrong hands, or to even potentially fall into the wrong hands. I would just as well continue to have them have no information on any of us at all. That said, for a whole lot of reasons I just went ahead and set both of my accounts to be deleted if someone can give Facebook proof that I have passed away. (I might also delete the second account before that point, though. We will just have to see.)

The fact that they have responded to me twice about this, as far as I’ve heard, is promising.

I was put in the position to where I had to make a report to someone’s local law enforcement because they publicly posted revenge porn of an ex of theirs that had her full name and where she lived. This was not something that I felt comfortable doing because of my… thoughts on the police, but the tracker on the person’s website says that their profile has been viewed more than two hundred times by now, and I’m sure having a folder on it clearly depicting revenge porn — especially when the person called their ex the denigrating name that they did — didn’t help matters. My level of comfort with the police in general was shadowed by the fact that this girl quite likely does not know that he posted revenge porn of her, and I hope the police are able to ameliorate this. I happened to be in the position of knowing who this person’s local police would be unless they’ve since left the area, and I hope that the information I gave them was sufficient for them to find him and something to be done about this while hoping they don’t sweep it under the rug.

I hope that this all works out, that this person is charged of revenge porn and actually convicted of it.
