“For persons who lived through the loss of loved ones or spent stressed time in the hospital or were punch by divorce or losing an employment or any one of a several crisis and disasters, we maybe not wish for another look again at this past year,” Meyer wrote December 24.
Jonathan Gheller, the manager of the product for the “Year in Review” feature, said that he approached to Meyer for apologize for this on the behalf of his company, which causing hurt him.
The app was amazing for a lot of persons, but obviously in this situation we also brought him grief rather than pleasure, Gheller said. He added that the team of Facebook would take Meyer 's concerns into account for next time.
