The US Air Force has warned troops that using location applications on Facebook and other networking sites could have “devastating” consequences for military operations. “All Airmen must understand the implications of using location-based services,” said a message on the internal Air Force network. The features, such as Facebook’s ‘Check-in,’ Foursquare, Gowalla, and Loopt “allow individuals with a smartphone to easily tell their friends their location,” it said. “Careless use of these services by Airmen can have devastating operations security and privacy implications,” said the message, which was posted on November 5, according to spokesman Major Chad Steffey.
