Do You Want To Broadcast Your Location?
Facebook launched Facebook ”Places” ; Anyone can find out where you are when you are logged in. It gives the actual address & map location of where you are as you use Facebook.
TO REMOVE: Go to “Account”, “Account..Settings.. Notifications”, then scroll down to “Places” and “un-check” the two boxes. Make sure to SAVE changes.
Kind of shocking that a software company would would use opt out instead of opt in, and expose it’s users to such vulnerability.
Makes it easy for start-ups like Diaspora (launching September 15th) to end this unacceptable business practice.
