Meta has secured a patent for technology that could use artificial intelligence to imitate you on social media after you die. That means your Meta accounts could continue generating posts, comments, messages, and interactions in your voice.
While Meta has said it does not currently plan to move forward with this concept, the patent still exists, and that means the door remains open. And the implications are deeply unsettling.
Sign the petition to demand Meta surrender this disturbing patent now!
This technology would allow companies to simulate deceased individuals by turning their memories, personalities, and digital histories into tools for engagement, content, and profit.
Grief experts warn that this could interfere with the natural process of loss. As one expert put it: "One of the tasks of grief is to face the actual loss. Let the dead be dead."
Allowing AI to mimic the dead raises serious concerns about consent, dignity, and emotional harm to loved ones. It also opens the door to misuse, where digital versions of people could say or do things they never chose in life.
When someone dies, their identity should not be turned into an algorithm.
Sign the petition now to demand Meta permanently abandon this technology and surrender the patent before it can ever be used.
