“For example, taking a picture of your kid playing in their bedroom, and you have your geotagging turned on, you have not only told the world where you live,” Thompson said. “You have told the world probably where your kids bedroom is, which is very scary.”
Cause they’d never figure out which room was the kid’s was based on the toys and race car bed.

Lauren Kerr and her roommate, Cynthia Jones, were at brunch at Tupelo Honey, when Kerr posted a picture on Instagram and tagged their location in the post, without realizing anyone could see their exact location on a map.
… you told the internet where you were and are surprised that people could see where you were at the time?
Jesus Wept.
(And like Leatherwing said, “knowing where you live” isn’t exactly super scary to normal human beings, almost all of whom are Instagramming and Twootering [if they do such a thing] with their real name, and with the Internet already knowing their address.
Zomg, KIDS have BEDROOMS! Now that the internet knows there’s a KID’S BEDROOM there, you might as well expect child predators to be circling your house 24/7 waiting for a way in.
Or not, because they can find !@%& kids anywhere because kids are omnipresent.)

Jeez, phone books used to be more useful than they are, but this is nothing new. Have the predators just gotten lazy, or what? And the fact that there’s a kid’s bedroom in the house doesn’t take into account that there’s a mama/papa grizzly with a .45 to get through before you find it.

Kerr said she likes to keep her friends up-to-date with pictures via social media
Gee, I hope she posts pictures of her food! Those are always the most intriguing. How could we get through a day without a picture of fucking lunch.
I weep for what was once our country.
