I have turned off geo-tagging for guests to this journal. My understanding is that older posts will still show geographic information about visitors. If and when there is a way to turn that off as well I will do so. You guys live in my heart, no need for anyone to know what street you're on.

scarred but smarter, life is messy, you're doing it wrong, such first world problems

I must've missed some sort of announcement? Why did they add that?

Because they have no earthly idea what their clients really want.

Yeah, they actually saw the error of their ways within a day -- go figure. I'm betting there was a law (or several) that they forgot to notice when planning to invade our privacy.

Oddly enough LJ fixed it's great big stupid "let's geo tag everybody that comments" mistake.
