FabSwingers.com forum: Your Digital Legacy

Watching an article on BBC news this morning about a lawyer and a test case of Digital Legacy.

He has been working on behalf of a mother and her young child, to access photographs and videos retained in an iCloud account they could not access without a pin code, which husband/father owned.

The question was posed - How many of your viewers have considered what would happen to their ‘Digital Assets’ ( social media/online banking etc) should they pass away.

I have already made the necessary arrangements and placed details with my last will and testament.

Have you considered your Digit Assets?

That's a very good point. All my photos are in the cloud accessible only my fingerprint on my phone and laptop.

Guess I have to leave my finger to my next of kin...

Never really thought about it.

I do feel a bit sad when I go into bars and restaurants which are using old photos as part of their "trendy" decor.

I always think I bet when those people had their photos taken originally , dressed in their best, they never imagined theyd end up on some dive bar wall a hundred years later.

Seems a bit disrespectful....

That was exactly what happened in the test case

The only thing I have digitally is my music collection. Any pics with sentimental value get passed on. I dont store anything on a cloud platform. Fab is the only social media platform I use, so I would be happy for my phone to be wiped.

But that’s photographs as they were in that era. We are talking digital technology and what happens to your online photos/videos/blog etc etc should you

a) pass away

b) your family has no direct access

c) the media sits there because no one else can access to remove your FB page etc ..

I think there was a legal case a few years ago between Bruce Willis and Apple regarding this. Apple claimed that you can't pass on your iTunes library. Not sure of the outcome.

That I would agree with but your digital assets are yours! Photos/videos etc

It should all be deleted when they die. If the person wanted someone else to have copies, they would have already passed them on.

What point? My data should be deleted.

Whether you want it deleted, or passed on, the point is, you have to put something in place, either in your will or by leaving instructions with a lawyer, relative or whatever. It's certainly not going to get deleted (or passed on) automatically.

I quite like it that there are FaceBook pages (oh and yes in some cases fabswingers profiles) still up for a few dear friends who have passed on (most far too early). Keeps the good memories alive. Hope they are swinging away up in Heaven (or Hell!) xx

Has anyone considered the fact that there might be images/information stored on there that you don't want your family to see?

This made me think about the recent change made to the organ donation laws - deemed consent.

When you die why not adopt the principles of that law to everything in your digital/cloud footprint.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Currently I store nothing online in the cloud format as i'm extremely distrustful of someone holding that data and potentially sharing / using / selling it. Corporations have an abysmal track record in this regard. I keep my digital footprint to a minimum and for this reason don't use any online storage systems. The only social media I have is FB and i've posted nothing new in nearly 2 years. Were it not for keeping in touch with a few old high school friends I would have deleted it long ago.

Why is it different? You have purchased your digital content. You should be able to pass that on the same as a record collection.

I recently considered this after reading an article about it. I have left my social media log in details with my solicitor as part of my will so my daughter can decide what she wants to do with them. My Fab account details have been left with a close friend who will delete upon my demise and I will do same for her should anything happen. Considering how prevelant social media is in his day and age it hadn't previously occurred to me to do this.

If it's an agreement then fair enough.

Although no-one reads the legal shite they force you to accept.

Don't use Apple.
