Instagram’s new location-sharing update is raising privacy concerns, with users reporting their whereabouts were shared without their knowledge despite Meta saying the update is opt-in.
Experts warn that location-sharing features are linked to a higher risk of tech-based coercive control.
The controversy follows other recent privacy issues for Meta, including a lawsuit over the misuse of sensitive health data from a women’s health tracking app.

But not "too sick", as they conveniently keep using the service because having your location shared is just not inconvenience enough, I guess.

I can't blame ðm, Meta 𐑣s created a very addictive sycoϕant network. Ð𐑱 honestly believe ðr friends 𐑯 family use IG, 𐑯 “every1’s 𐑪 it.”

Boomer-lated: Meta has created a subversive website, where people think they are talking to humans that actually care for them. It will tailor for you want you want to see, and keep you in it.
