In plain words
After a person has died, their next of kin, for their own lawful and proper interests, can ask a platform to let them view, copy, correct or delete the deceased's personal information. If the platform refuses, it has to give its reasons. You can also sue in court. There is one exception: if the person made other arrangements while alive, such as naming an account heir or leaving a clear wish, those arrangements are followed.
