Google Latitude is a very interesting tool. It allows you to find out where your friends are located and alerts you if they are close to you (i ‘m guessing you must be using an android phone with a GPS tracker on it). Sounds great right? or does it?
Privacy is an issue here, anyone who is a friend can see where you are at any time, people that might fool you into adding them as friends will see where you are, google and anyone it shares your location data with knows where you are, it is monitoring your every move, it will know your patterns of behaviour and might alert others on changes. People might be accessing your location data without you knowing. Even forgetting it on when you go and do something no-one should know about can get you into “trouble”
The list here is endless and it is something that should concern all of us. After all, we don’t want our boss to know where we are at all times, who ever our boss might be (be it goverment – corrupt or not, the police, wifes, family etc)
Some food for thought
