UNB, Dhaka :
Social networking giant Facebook has apologised to all the users, including the ones in Dhaka, who accidentally received computer-automated messages asking if they were safe from Sunday’s Lahore bombings.
Users far across the globe, including the ones in Dhaka, showed notifications of an SMS which
specifically asked, ‘Have you been affected by the explosion?’, but did not say where it happened.
The flawed notices were the latest stumble in Facebook’s evolving ‘Safety Check’ practice of prompting users to quickly let their friends know they are okay after being in the vicinity of a tragedy.
