    Well it's a bit less of a threat,
    unless she has an open facebook that allows anyone and everyone
    in, then it doesn't matter, if she has a restricted facebook like most
    people do, then nobody will get there to see them without her permission.

    You can turn off the GPS marking option in the smartphones.

    Also just so you know most new digital cameras do the same thing
    it was a way to help people get together and see things find things etc.

    I worry about her friends when it shows up on their site. Another thing is why are there so many child molesters in society now. When we were kids we ran all over and none of us ever had a problem. Its just really sad.
    Another women here was jumped as she was out jogging in broad daylight and molested, another Mexican and still on the loose.
