I wonder if Facebook changes will take the place of the old virus
scare emails. Thanks for the heads up. One thing I noticed was a
message from facebook on the privacy settings page:

"Get the Facts about Places

knowledge or consent.

You control your information on Facebook. With Places, you choose when
to share your location by checking in or allowing friends to check you
in. Your location is never given to anyone automatically.
