Facebook Glitch Tells Thousands That They’re Dead

In what is being described as a “widespread glitch,” thousands of Facebook users who accessed their profiles Friday saw that they appeared in the “remembering” format.

Even founder Mark Zuckerberg had this message on his page: “We hope people who love Mark will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his life,” a banner above his public profile said.

Company executives told Politico reporter Hadas Gold the change "appears to be a bug, not compromised accounts," Gold tweeted.

Word of the glitch spread on social media Friday as social media users had fun with the company’s malfunction.
