   Blimey, yes - that's been there for a while. I disallowed it via my settings   
   as soon as they appeared, which was before it was even active on my side of   
   the puddle.   
      
   IIRC, to fully disable it you have to change three settings. A quick google   
   for 'disable facebook places' brings up a lot of results. This is the first   
   on my screen:

   I don't object to the concept. It's fine for people who know and understand   
   what it is, does and means - including the potential pitfalls. My real   
   problem is that it's enabled by default, and users who don't want it have to   
   opt out.   
      
   Assuming they know it's there in the first place - which as Amy   
   demonstrates, may not be the case.
