Description

If you died today, what would happen to your digital footprint including your social media accounts.  Our social media presence, personal data, and business profiles can continue to exist after our death, causing challenges for our loved ones. While we won't be here, do we really want to burden those we leave behind?

This is a conversation we need to have to ensure peace of mind for ourselves and those we care about.

In this week's episode of The Social Media Takeaway, I’m joined by Niki Weiss, a digital thanatologist, founder of ENDevo and creator of My Final Playbook. We discuss simple, practical steps to secure your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, protect your digital assets, and reduce the burden on loved ones. We also highlight how creating a continuity plan can help prevent risks like hackers targeting inactive accounts.

We focus not only on death, but about empowering you to manage your digital legacy. It’s about ensuring your Facebook, LinkedIn, and other data are secure, your business can continue, and your loved ones can navigate everything smoothly when the time comes.
