Rome, 28 March 2016 – The message Facebook asking you to confirm your health status in the event of attacks / catastrophic events that occurred in the vicinity of the user is now standard practice. And very useful. However, he raised a little ‘surprise (and some apprehension) see the’ safety check ‘on’ attack in Pakistan , Lahore , to arrive yesterday Italians users. “Are you okay? The explosion also affected you?” emblazoned on different mobile phones as soon as you accessed the social network. Facebook asked, in short, to confirm their state of health in the face of Pakistani massacre.
BLAME FOR A BUG – No false alarms or risk nearby. The message is left for error, and not only directed Italians, but also a large number of users around the world. Guilty of a ‘bug’ that hit algorithm that regulates the service based on the geolocation of Fb profiles. Quick and effective clarification came from Facebook. “We have activated the Safety Check in Lahore after the explosion – said the company created by Mark Zuckerberg:. Unfortunately, not many people affected by the crisis have received a notification asking if you were all right.” “This type of bug is contrary to our intentions – is still read in a statement posted online. – We quickly worked to resolve this matter and we apologize to anyone who has received a notification in error.” It is not the first time that the Facebook safety check ends up at the center of controversy, even for alleged ‘unequal treatment’. In a post which became viral, the Lebanese blogger Joey Ayoub had criticized the social network for not having sent any notification following the twin bombings Beirut suicide bomber last November.
