CPN ADVICES FACEBOOK ON TRACKING APPLICATION RISKS

The Computer Professionals Registrations Council of Nigeria(CPN) has advice Facebook on the need to make its global positioning system(GPS) location tracking switchable( to enable it to turned on and off) to reduce risks.
As we all know, Facebook is developing a smartphone application  that will allow its users track location of their friends, and it schedule for released by mid-March.
There is no doubt that the app will help us a lot in many ways. But, the question is.. the security of Facebook users. The provider should have the permission of the owner to grant access to track them. Facebook should look into this issue seriously.
