Facebook mantra - Keep the masses terrified:
Following a bombing in Lahore, Pakistan, on March 27 that killed at least 52 people, Facebook activated its "Safety Check" feature, which allows people to use the social platform to let friends and loved ones know they are okay following a crisis or natural disaster.
But on Sunday, there was one problem: It appears Facebook wrongly sent Safety Check notifications to people who were never in danger, or even close to the Pakistan explosion.
Tech Insider reached out to Facebook to find out what might be causing the issue.
"We activated Safety Check today [Sunday] in Lahore, Pakistan, after a bombing that took place there. Unfortunately, many people not affected by the crisis received a notification asking if they were okay. We worked to resolve the issue and we apologize to anyone who mistakenly received the notification," a Facebook representative told TI. Cont. (Tweets)
