An enormous Facebook error accidentally resulted in the posting of memorials on founder Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page, as well as on those of around 2 million other users.
After fixing the problem, Facebook acknowledged its mistake, saying the system had committed a "terrible error."
"For a brief period today, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts," a Facebook spokesperson said. "This was a terrible error that we have now fixed."
Media reports indicated that some two million errant memorials were posted on profile pages.
Many Facebook users wrote comments, stating how upset they were to hear the news, and how sweet Zuckerberg was.
"Couldn't happen to a nicer guy," one commenter wrote.
Zuckerberg has continuously acted in ways that are seen as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, shutting down Israeli accounts that criticize terrorists but leaving Hamas and other terror-promoting pages untouched. Facebook has also continuously ignored requests to delete inciting and anti-Semitic comments and pictures, even though it has been proven that many terrorists gain encouragement, ideas, and murderous know-how from Facebook's online platform. Facebook also left Israel off their list of Olympic participants.
The mistaken memorial notices contained links to forms that can be submitted to have an account turned into an online memorial after a person's death.
However, part of the process is showing proof of death, which would have to be missing in Zuckerberg's case. This led some people to wonder if the "error" was truly an error or perhaps some form of promotion that went wrong.
