This is very misleading. People cannot list you as being somewhere &quot;even if you are not there&quot; you have to have already marked yourself as being there before someone can &quot;tag you&quot; as also being there.

For example, a friend of mine cannot go to a house of ill repute and falsely click to say I am there. I would have to be at said house, and then the person will have to see a list of his facebook friends who have ALREADY TAGGED THEMSELVES AS BEING THERE. Only then can they tag me as there, and then only if I&#039;ve opted to allow them in my privacy settings. 

Nor could I go to a bar and tag someone else as being there too, unless they had already tagged themselves as being there. They could be standing right next to me, but unless they&#039;d gone into facebook and clicked &quot;tag my location&quot; or &quot;check in&quot; I would not be able to alert anyone to their presence.

It&#039;s a silly feature and I&#039;ve disabled it on my phone. However, I thought people should be aware that it&#039;s not STALKING as claimed in this article. Nor can people tag you as being somewhere you&#039;re not. Nor can they tag you even if you ARE somewhere, unless you&#039;ve clicked to give them permission! This headline and article is misleading and fear mongering.
