Facebook creates a new way to predict the date of the death of users

Facebook has created a new way to know when someone will die, as part of the company's mission to track all aspects of people's lives.

The New York Times revealed for the first time the invention of Facebook, which she described as "predictive of life change," which predicts major events in the life of the Facebook user, according to the story read by Zahra Rami on FM listeners during the program "Live Sabah. This may include a change in social status, birthdays, new jobs, childbirth, graduation or death.

The life-changing predictor calculates the probability of a user changing life using the automated learning model and historical data for other social networking users who have experienced life-changing events. As expected from Facebook, one of the main reasons for developing this feature is advertising. By knowing the most intimate details of a person's life, he will be able to serve consumers with relevant ads.

For example, if this feature predicts that a pregnant user is of the type of engagement you are interacting with, they will be able to target them with ads about diapers or children's clothing.

Some Facebook users may choose to share information about major events in their lives in general, but the new Facebook system describes how this information can be collected and extracted in more precise ways.

In addition to the simple reliance on changing user profile information, this method is more capable of using all the information in the social networking system such as posts, instant messages, emails, etc., to determine if the user has undergone a life change event or Predict whether he will undergo a life-changing event later on.

The New York Times revealed another system, which includes spying on users through their phone's microphone. In this case, the microphone listens to what the person is watching on the TV to suggest relevant content and relevant ads.Facebook has faced extensive scrutiny of data practices in recent months, after it was revealed that the British data company Cambridge Analytica had collected personal data for Facebook users for political purposes.
