Don’t Do It! – Facebook Unveils Location Service Dubbed ‘Places’
August 19th, 2010
Once again the “sirens” of technology call to folks only to ensnare and cause great harm up to and including death! Facebook has now succumbed to the latest invasion of privacy and what makes this form of invasion even worse is that the victim is helping the attackers! Ok, I can hear the heavy sighs already, “there he goes again, crying wolf”.
Folks this activity is dangerous! Predators of every ilk hang out on social sites with facebook currently being the most popular! They rub their hands with glee when technology aides them in stalking and tracking their potential victims. Quite frankly, what is the attraction to letting the world know where you are at every moment. It has to be some sort of narcissistic epidemic to think that everyone wants to know where you are located at any given moment. Beyond that, it is down right dangerous.
“Hey predator! Come get me, I’m at the mall all by myself!” Why not instead hang a sign on yourself thats says “I Want To Be Your Next Victim” and just walk through the mall!
Folks, what do I have to say to make people understand. Giving away your location to the entire world is DANGEROUS! DON’T DO IT!
