Facebook Allows Father to See Dead Son's Video

Facebook has allowed a Missouri father's tearful request to unlock his dead son's social media page and give him access to a video compilation of photos and posts he had been unable to view, according to Reuters. Facebook has generated automated "Look Back" videos of users' social media pages to commemorate its 10th anniversary. John Berlin of St. Louis, Missouri, made an emotional plea in an online video to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, asking to see his late son's video compilation. His son, Jesse, died of natural causes in 2012 at age 21. Berlin posted a statement on YouTube Wednesday saying he received permission from Facebook.
