An extension for Google Chrome, “Marauders Map” has been
found to be capable of tracking Facebook users’ location using the location data
collected from Facebook Messenger with very high accuracy. The developer of Marauders
Map builds up this extension after realising Messenger collects location data
up to 5 decimal points of precision.
Location is always being turned on by
default in Messenger. Although we could opt out to it, a lot of people are not
aware of this function and the consequences of turning it on.
