Please don't out your city in your locations

I've see a lot of users, especially the younger ones, who've put their city in their location and y'all, don't do that, it's one of the most basic parts of internet safety.

I get why it might not seem like a bad idea, even if you're in a big city, but it can very easily backfire, and make it easier for someone to locate your exact area.

The internet makes it scary easy to figure out someones location, so the best way to lessen that risk is to avoid mentioning your exact locations.

Saying your country sually safe unless its incredibly small, while with the state, I'd recommend avoiding it and only speaking in general terms (i.e. the south, the midwest, northeast, etc etc) but if its a larger state, such as California, it may be safer.

It's so scary how people can easily give away dangerously personal details to strangers. You never know how people will use the information that you gave them.

i live on cemetery drive in the city of delusion which is next to battery city 😁😁😁

i was thinking about this last night, thank you for making a post. 

any information just makes it easier for someone who wants to do harm, to do harm. even if you think you're being safe, there's no guarantee of privacy or safety on the internet -or anywhere in the world. people seem to forget the amount of stalking and real-life crime made possible by and done through the internet... even cases like Amanda Todd should remind these young people especially that the internet is not safe. posting pictures of yourself (explicit or not), sharing locations, or sharing personal information can immediately catch the eye of anyone who is evil or vindictive. -and- it doesn't matter what everyone else is doing, especially as a child, because odds are those "mutuals" you have online or those in the same online spaces who claim to also be a child -or have something in common- may not actually be what they claim to be. 

that's a lot of words to say: don't share your location. don't share personal information. & do not trust strangers.

Use your judgement. Im not going to tell anyone no because well, basically in the myspace days we did. all the time. like literally everyone. 
In fact it was one of the primary means we met up with new friends in that time with similar taste etc. 
I made a few great friends just from knowing they lived in Yucca Valley CA with me. 
The primary trick at the time for those that wanted to use that ability (it was readily searchable in the search engine, as well as keywords for things they were into like music genre, movies etc)
but were being more cautious, was to use the next town over in an arbitrary direction as your location. So you show you are near there, but you arent "there" so hooking up with friends etc was still possible and easy. 

For girls it is very much understandable having a lot more concern in this matter for sure. and if you arent someone that gets out a lot and are kind of a shut in etc. 
you dont frequent the city you live in alone and werent raised in a family with that kind of freedom, then yeah id say you should probably just hide all that. 

Basically be smart. if you confident you run your shit in life then do as you please. Think about it, then do what you wanna do thats best for you.
my two cents.
