The alert allows people to use the site to let family and friends know they are okay after a disaster. However, Facebook sent the safety check to many people who were not in danger, and were nowhere near the Pakistan bombing, including Dan Graziano, who was on a train in New Jersey.
"I got a text message asking me if I was safe, and said I was in the explosion zone...I got really kind of freaked out at first," Graziano said.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg released a statement Sunday night, making no apologies. He said Facebook activated the safety check so people can let their friends and loved ones know they are safe.
