Interesting. The invasion of privacy issue is going to become a concern once people start using facebook as a means through which to commit sexual and/or violent crimes.

Let me start by saying I think this is all overblown. People committed crimes before there were computers, they'll continue to commit crimes now.

But to the extent people do use the social networks to this end, it won't be facebook, it'll be foursquare. With foursquare installed on your phone, your location is constantly updated as you walk around - Cous has exited the Starbucks on Veterans, Cous has entered Dorignac's. Some people think their friends are interested in every move they make.
