Deceased-User Policy: Twitter vs. Facebook

What is the difference between Twitter’s new deceased-user policy and Facebook’s? Don’t look at me…my Twitter account already looks like I’m dead. I guess I’ll have to read the article too.

As expected, interested parties need to send in several pieces of information about how they relate to that person before Twitter will take action. Once the proper credentials have been sent to the company (via e-mail or snail mail), Twitter is then able to do one of two things: either remove a deceased user's account entirely, or provide an archive of all that user's tweets so family members can access them offline.
