Some ideas off the top of my head: (please do not copy-paste these)

- What to do with the account after they have died. Should it be left up, as a memorial? Should it be taken down? Should living family members get to decide what to do with it? What if the person, while they were alive, gave no instructions as to what to do with the profile?

- Accounts of deceased people being exploited for data-selling or other nefarious purposes
