Eric Meyer, who is credited with advocating for web development standards such as cascading style sheets (CSS), blamed designers and programmers for repeatedly showing him the advertisement of Year In Review that showed him pictures of his deceased daughter on Facebook, reported Stuff.co.nz.
In the recent past, Facebook has designed many such features prompting users to share personalized photographic moments they posted during the year.
