nobody asked for this

Currently listening to: Alive – The Rose

Baby, I’m alive
And I’ve been driving through the night
Turning off the lights
And now I’m following the lines
Walking through the smoke and
Not even choking
Don’t know where I’m going
I’m not even scared
Baby, I’m alive
And now I’m falling from the sky

IG (instagram) has these new features on there that I thought I’d share.
Personally, I find it intrusive IMHO (in my humble opinion).

If your IG is public, your pics or videos could appear on Google or other search engines. I turned it off for my account. Or you can make your account private. Go on Settings and activity, account privacy, and you’ll land on this page below.

Another feature they added was the ability to track people. Yeah, no. Not that I’m doing anything shady but I’ve already had stalker issues before and this feels like this could be a safety issue for people. People can either physically assault someone, find out where people live, or rob their homes when they’re not home. But for whatever reason, a couple of my friends are sharing their location with their followers.

To turn off this feature, go to settings and click on story, live, and location. Then click on location sharing. Also, make sure that your location is turned off in IG on your Iphone or Samsung phone.

    Time comes, all people are searchable on Google.

      this is true… but we should still safeguard ourselves.

        I think I’m late. My name is already searchable on Google. This is because I dig online a few years ago.

    I don’t know which is more insane: that the tracking is possible and people would consent to it or that it’s on by default.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      All of the above
