Facebook Introduces New Privacy Norms Around Location With Tagging

One of the thorniest issues Facebook is confronting with the launch of its long-awaited location features has been privacy. After concerns erupted earlier this spring that the company was being too cavalier with privacy, Facebook’s engineers and product managers have been careful to announce a thorough set of controls with its new location-sharing service.

With the new product, Facebook is attempting to expand the existing paradigm of “check-ins” with a new feature that will let users tag friends at places.
