Twitter (TWTR) has released a set of guidelines to follow to have pictures and other media of deceased family members removed from its website.
Those looking to have the account of their deceased family members removed from Twitter have to follow a few steps to get it done. This requires letting the company know the account of the deceased person, a copy of the person’s death certificate, a copy of your government issues ID and a signed statement.
When sending a signed statement to Twitter to have a deceased family member’s account deactivated, the person making the request must include their first and last name, relation to the deceased person, current contact information, email address, the action requested, a brief description to prove the account belongs to the deceased individual and an obituary.
This information can be mailed or faxed to Twitter at a location specified by the social media website.
Users looking to have images or other content of a deceased family member removed can do so by sending an email to privacy@twitter.com. This can be done at the time of critical injury, shortly before or shortly after the user’s death.
