Third option: it's a great convenience for the entire family to be able to access each other's whereabouts easily.

My family can find my own location on their phones at any given time. I don't feel like I've lost privacy because of that.

That's the trick isn't it? Make people not feel like they've lost their privacy, when in reality they already have.

I find this attitude bizarre. I would never give my family 24/7 access to my exact location.

Then again, Google has 24/7 access to my exact location if they want it, so maybe my priorities are a little messed up.

Why would it bother you if your spouse+kids had access to your location? Honest question, because I don’t understand the sentiment.
