ABSTRACT
As our lives go digital, so will, inevitably, our death. Emails, photographs, and thoughts that are shared are all stored digitally. These are users' digital remains that reflect their digital personalities and at the same time, make up the memories for friends and family. Based on a national survey of Israeli population, this chapter reveals the multiplicity of users' perspectives, perceptions, and practices regarding access to digital remains—their own and others. The chapter points to the emergence of new social perspectives on posthumous privacy and commemoration in the contemporary digital age, and comments on their relevance to policymaking.
