Totally agree. This app shows you people who made public checkins on foursquare and then connects you to whatever profile they display publicly on Facebook. This is yellow journalism. Let's focus on real privacy violations.


Do victims of this feel like they had their privacy violated? If yes (and I strongly suspect the answer you will receive in a non-trivial number of cases is yes), than this is as real a privacy violation as they get.
