[nabs-l] Burning Questions: An Interesting Topic for Discussion

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hey Roanna,
Sharing your location is something that you might do with only one person, via text, or you might allow an app to have access to your location, like Facebook. In most situations the location that is displayed, accept when you send it by text message, is a very general location, like the town you are in or the state. Generally, you don’t want to share your specific location with folks you don’t know, but it’s not a bad idea for certain apps, like weather apps, to have access to this information so that they can give you information based on where you are.
I hope this helps.
