Somewhat off topic, a friend died recently. HE had a large Facebook page. Actually was a nice summation of things he had been doing in life in recent years. I wonder what happens to Facebook accounts like his which are now dormant?

And imagine 50, or 100 years from now, who will “own” social media and other internet presences we all have, when we all will pass on at some point????

They likely haven't thought this through all the way.
Data storage is ridiculously inexpensive, yet even nitwit Zuckerberg will not wish to maintain long-dormant accounts of deceased people.
Were they my employer, I would suggest any account not accessed at least every five years be deleted.
