"Current location" wtf?

ETA: OK, so it's trying to facilitate paedophiles by linking to your location WTF? Not using that feature.

What the hell? Seriously - and what are people thinking that they actually USE these features?

I know! I mean, if it was just a meta-inof thing like the mood thing, maybe I'd use it (you know, "at home", "in library", "on campus" etc) but this is madness. It's completely invasive, too, and how many kids out there are going to start using it? The schools thing is bad enough; it's like a way to track people. It's scary.

Well thats just it. It doesn't occur to them that that isn't safe. That's why I cringe so much when people use their full/ real names. Same thing. What the hell? And no,I don't use it. Or the schools thing. No.

That was my exact response when I saw it earlier, I mean who is actually going to use it!

Stupid kids too young to know better and thus perfect prey for paedophiles. *shudder*

*sigh* Although if people use it like you said for "in Libary" or "At school" kinda thing it will be OK, but you just know there will still be people actually putting where they live in there! (Oh btw I just saw the eppy's you sent me OMG 605 is so good!)

Heh, yeah. I could imagine it being quite useful if it was just somewhere you wrote (you know, "in bedroom", "on campus") but the fact that it links to places is creepy.
