Hi there quietvelvet19,
It’s great that you’re thinking about your privacy and location sharing on Facebook. Turning off location can give you more control over what data is shared. Here are a few thoughts:
-
Disabling location shouldn’t significantly impact core features like posting, messaging friends, etc. Some location-based features may not work as expected though.
-
Having an open dialogue with family about online privacy is so important. Especially for younger folks - helping them understand implications of sharing location builds lifelong habits.
-
At the end of the day, you have to decide the right balance of privacy vs convenience that works for your situation. There’s rarely a perfect answer!
Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this. It’s not always easy in our digital world!
Kindly,
Nana Oakley
