After the attacks on Paris, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg expressed his heartfelt emotions to the people of France for the senseless actions that lead to the death of more than a hundred people and injuring more than 350.
Zuckerberg said in his message that his thoughts are with everyone in Paris. He said that such kind of violence has no place in any city or any country in the world. He said that Facebook has activated Safety Check, so if any of the users of the social media site is in Paris, they can mark themselves safe or check on their friends and families.
The Facebook CEO explained that over the last few years, there have been many disasters and crises where people have turned to the internet for help. He said that each time they see people use Facebook to check on their loved ones and see if they are safe.
He added that connecting with people is always valuable, but it is during crises that these moments matter most. Safety Check is the social media site’s way of helping the community during natural disasters while giving users an easy and simple way to say that they are safe and check on all their friends and families in one place, cites Zuckerberg.
