Legacy.com fights 'dissing the dead'
Legacy.com -- which is paid by more than 300 newspapers to publish their death notices and obituaries -- has to continually monitor and remove inappropriate comments from people "dissing the dead," The New York Times reports, which has become "a costly and complicated problem."
The company dedicates at least 30 percent of its budget, and 45 of its 75 employees, to catching the personal attacks and other inappropriate comments, nearly 200,000 in all, submitted each year.
