Bah I really hate the idea of anything or anyone tracking my location, especially the likes of Facebook and Google. I disabled all that stuff ages ago. If I wanted to meet up with friends I whatsapp them or phone them and talk to them. I guess alot of people still like this feature though.

I like the feature. I don't trust the provider. I'm not sure if I can intrinsically trust any 3rd party with my location information. I would much prefer if the internet were just redecentralised and we had much more peer to peer interaction.
