EFF's comments on Facebook places:
- "If you want to have complete control over whether you are listed at a location, you have to permanently disallow check-ins by your friends by disabling "Friends can check me in to Places" on the customize privacy settings page. This is the most privacy protective option, since you will only be listed at a location if you affirmatively choose to check in."
- "You can opt out of the Here Now feature by unchecking the "Include me in 'People Here Now' after I check in" privacy control. However, Facebook does not offer the ability to limit Here Now visibility to subsets of your friends."
- "While you can have a friend check you in anywhere they are, or spoof your geolocation if you have sufficient technical chops, Facebook should allow arbitrary locations."
