37 Attorneys General on location sharing services

37 Attorneys General sent a letter to Instagram about its early August new location sharing feature. The letter calls on Instagram to revise its feature. They wrote, “Unrestricted location-sharing features pose a particular risk for minors as they can be readily used by sexual predators to identify and geographically target children in the real world. We know that dangerous individuals are already present on Instagram, and we have serious concerns that this feature will increase the likelihood of hands-on abuse and exploitation.”
