This is important to do, especially to keep your kids out of reach of pedophiles, and you out of reach of evil-doers.
Do immediately!!!! Facebook launched Facebook Places yesterday. 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. Make sure your kids know. TO UNDO: go to"Account", "Account Settings", ..."Notifications", then scroll down to "Places" ...& uncheck the 2 boxes. Make sure to save changes & re-post this!!!
Another commentor suggested this statement for follow-up:
Then you have to do these steps additionally:
To shut off Facebook Places, here's how to do it:
First, go to the pull-down "Account" tab on the top right of your Facebook homepage. From there, click on "Privacy Settings" and then look under "Sharing on Facebook.... " Click on "Everyone" and then click on "Customize Settings," which is slightly below in blue. Then click on "Places I Check Into," and check "Custom." Then under the pull-down tab, "These People", click on "Only Me" and hit "Save."
In that same area, you'll want to make sure that "People Here Now" is not enabled.
OK, you're part way there. Now, you'll need to go back and take a few more steps. Here's what you should do:
Go back to the "Account" pull-down on the top right of the page and click on "Privacy Settings." Next, scroll down to bottom of the page and under "Applications and Web Sites," click on "Edit Your Settings." Then, under "Info Accessible Through Your Friends," click on "Edit Settings." At that point, make sure "Places I check Into" is not checked.

There are laws against violations of privacy
by Aryana-Vaeja on Tue Aug 31, 2010 07:01 PM PDTOf the kind fb regularly violates. If they got seriously challenged on them in a serious lawsuit, they would have a tough day in court. It's that simple.

u r welcome - this is especially important if u have kids on FB
by MM on Tue Aug 31, 2010 10:33 AM PDTwhere pedophile can track your children.
what are you guys talking about?
by Doctor X on Tue Aug 31, 2010 07:58 AM PDTFB is not a nanny-providing service. They are using their freedom to implement certain policies that they see fit unless it is proven that it goes against their client interest.
What court? what are the grounds for any legal challenges??
Has someone been able to Prove anything, that a crime has taken place and that it was because of the policies that FB has undertaken? You got to have some proof before you take them to the court.
MM.
Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

FB doesn't care
by Aryana-Vaeja on Mon Aug 30, 2010 04:37 PM PDTIndeed there are existing laws should someone care to challenge FB on such things. But they don't seem to care and are arrogant enough to believe they could keep such challenges bogged down in the court system indefinitely. I am often amazed at the brazen arrogance of facebook corp.and how far they are willing to push this arrogance. Look at how often they are changing features without bothering to inform everyone.
