Facebook will use AI to stop suggesting you invite dead friends to events

Facebook is trying to put a stop to its most painful notifications.

The company is making several changes to how it deals with accounts that have been memorialized, including one that will attempt to put a stop to birthday reminders and event notifications for friends who have died.

Facebook has long been criticized for spammy notifications. But these can become much more than just a nuisance when one of your friends has died. With the newly announced changes, Facebook will try to prevent accounts that have been memorialized from showing up in notifications.
