This is a true story of Loren Williams when he died in a motorcycle crash in 2005, his mother used his Facebook password to read posts on his wall.
"These
were postings from personal friends that [said] he meant a lot to them
in their lives, and it was very comforting," Karen Williams told KGW television in
Portland, Ore. "There were pictures that I had never seen before of his
life and just evidence of the wonderful relationships that he had
established."
But when Facebook learned
of Loren Williams' death, it changed his password and closed the page.
His mother got a court order to regain access to the account and get 10
months' worth of his life on Facebook, KGW reported.
"I wanted full and unobstructed access, and they balked at that," Williams of Beaverton, Ore., told The Associated Press. "It was heartbreaking. I was a parent grasping at straws to get anything I could get."
