Yet another reason to not use Facebook. In their latest non-security decision others can now tag you as being somewhere even if you don’t want them to…or if you aren’t even there. Like this is a good idea. Here’s how to turn it off(other than not using faceobok at all):
1. Go to privacy settings
2. Go to “customize”
3. Scroll to “things others share”
4. Disable “friends can check me into places.”
It’s getting to the point that the amount of time you spend trying to NOT let Facebook tell everyone everything about you and where you are all the time outstrips the amount of time you find valuable use out of the site.
