        Not understanding why someone would give their family and friends access to their location in case of an emergency really is a peak internet moment

          I can understand turning it on if you’re doing something like going backcountry hiking by yourself, and turning it off when you’re back.

          But leaving it on all the time so people I know can open an app and see where I am at any given moment? That’s creepy as fuck. There are people in my life who I trust, and care about me, but that’s still creepy as fuck.

            I’m glad you’re able to predict when an emergency might happen and then your location on in advance. Most people don’t have this superpower.

              Or I’m not so risk-adverse that that I’m willing to give up my privacy for a miniscule possibility that something could happen where that would help me.

              Do you wear a helmet every time you go outside?
