Re:Facebook suggests I "reconnect" with a dead friend by pbhjpbhj on Sunday July 11, 2010 @05:20PM (#1506154)
How would people feel about the option to have your state ID number associated with your account (but kept private) so that Facebook could update with a file from the government of recently notified deaths?

Facebook could send a condolences message to the associated email to catch false positives (people that the gov think died but really didn't!) and then a week later or so put the account into "deceased" mode.

Thoughts?
