Reading through Facebook’s lengthy privacy policy a few items jumped out at me fight away the first is about GPS location. “When we get your GPS location, we put it together with other location information we have about you (like your current city).”I was shocked when I saw this. This was disturbing to me because Facebook knows right where you are even if you don’t type in your location. This could be done without the user knowing and could cause their safety to be put in jeopardy. If a child’s location was posted without he/she knowing this could allow this information to fall into the wrong persons hands. I believe Facebook should notify the user before they use GPS to find their location.
