SnapMap?

Something that I’ve been thinking about recently is this thing called SnapMap. SnapMap is a feature on Snapchat where you can see the location of anyone you’re friends with that allows you to see their location. I would say at first glance it seems innocuous, but it’s not. The fact that you can see where people are every time they get onto snapchat is pretty terrifying. Once I was talking to a friend and he mentioned how he thought that there was a sleepover happening that night with a group of people. When I asked how he knew this he said that he looked on SnapMap and saw this group of people at this person's house late in the night. That’s genuinely terrifying that your friends could know where you are at any time. It literally brings stalking to a new level. I know of someone else that watch his ex and a friend of his on a date and live-texted me about everywhere they went. I’ve never turned on SnapMap because I do not want people to know where I am at all times. I wish I understood the purpose of it, but alas, I believe it is just a tool to advance cyberstalking.
