I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and the topic of social media came up. People use social media freely and do so to share pictures and videos with friends and family members near and far. It can be seen as convenient, but there's another side to it.
I started looking into social media and what happens after a loved one passes away. Some social media platforms will allow you to choose what happens to the pictures and videos and memories you leave behind, or some will let you delete the profile, while some will even let you keep your profile active with an "in remembrance" type message displaying that you've passed away.
Yet, with social media, what if you were the one who uploaded a picture with your family member? Yes you may have tagged them, but if your profile gets deleted then that family member can lose access to that special memory they cherished with you. Unless your loved ones know your social media user names and passwords, they might not be able to access photographs and videos they might want to keep in the family for future generations. Not to mention, a lot of times anyone from the public can access someone's pictures or videos, especially if their profile isn't set to 'private' or 'connections' only.
That's why Reflekta is better for this. Reflekta has certain security measures in place so only your family members have access to elders and loved one's profiles that have been created. The outside public can't access your precious family photos that you upload to Reflekta. Also, having an account with Reflekta can save you the heartache and headache from suddenly losing access to precious memories with your late loved ones. With social media, you can actually grieve more loss aside from your late loved one physically being gone by being cut off from access to memories. With Reflekta, you can only gain by preserving what's most precious to you.
