No, but it definitely should not be automatic. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority would not choose to have their online information erased posthumously.

Do you agree with all the privacy invasive opt-out features in every commercial service?
hodgehog11 OP
I see that as a bit different, since we are talking about something posthumous here. Privacy is important while we're alive because it can have an impact on our future life. In death, we live on for the sake of our loved ones and the future of humanity, or at least that's how I see it.

Do others have a moral duty to allow businesses to exploit their likenesses the moment they die?

That's an issue about respect, not privacy. And dead people deserve it too.

True, but I would think it disrespectful to automatically delete everything that someone posted online after their death.
