是2012年，您的孩子有一部iPhone-您知道他们在哪里吗？ 我做。

The strangest thing just happened. I'm sitting here in a hotel in New Zealand and my phone pops up an alert from a push-to-talk voice chat application I recently installed called Voxer. It's a voicemail from a tween (a child perhaps not quite 13 - in-between) teasing me about my name. "Scott Hanselman - Who would name their kid Scott HanselAndGretal man. *giggle*" Harmless stuff, of course, but weird and random. No idea who this is.

最奇怪的事情刚发生。 我坐在新西兰一家旅馆里，我的电话从我最近安装的名为Voxer的一键通语音聊天应用程序弹出警报。 这是一个来自补间的语音邮件(一个大概在13岁以下的孩子)在逗我叫我名字。 “ Scott Hanselman-谁叫他们的孩子Scott HanselAndGretal男人。*咯咯笑*”当然是无害的东西，但又怪异而随意。 不知道这是谁。

The name wasn't familiar but there was a little icon next to the voicemail in the Voxer app. Perhaps you've seen it before. It was a little red pin.

这个名字不熟悉，但Voxer应用程序中语音邮件旁边有一个小图标。 也许您以前看过。 这是一个红色的别针。

I clicked, and the young person's exact location popped up. They were sitting in a public library, likely after school. Because the application is an iPhone app and tied into their identity, the app shows their full name, not an alias. Literally a light 20 seconds (not minutes, mind you) of Googling and I find their Google Plus profile and Twitter. Google Plus promotes even more "information leakage" with it's "Places Lived" feature. This showed the last three cities the young person lived in. One of them was Portland. Since I live in Portland that seemed too coincidental. I searched for people I know on Facebook with the same last name who lived in Portland. Turns out I'm Facebook-friends with this young person's dad, although both have long since moved out of town. I messaged him and he was appreciative, relieved it was me and not a stranger, and is dealing with his child.

我单击，然后弹出年轻人的确切位置。 他们可能在放学后坐在公共图书馆。 由于该应用程序是一个iPhone应用程序，并与其身份相关联，因此该应用程序将显示其全名，而不是别名。 从字面上看一个光20秒(而不是几分钟，你介意)，谷歌搜索，我发现他们的谷歌加的个人资料和Twitter。 Google Plus的“住处”功能进一步促进了“信息泄漏”。 这显示了年轻人居住的最后三个城市。其中一个是波特兰。 自从我住在波特兰以来，这似乎太巧合了。 我搜索了我在Facebook上认识的与住在波特兰的姓氏相同的人。 原来我和这个年轻人的父亲是Facebook的朋友，尽管他们俩都已经搬出城市很久了。 我给他发了消息，他很感激，感到宽慰的是我而不是一个陌生人，并且正在与他的孩子打交道。

What's the moral here friends? Let me break it down for you:

这里的朋友有什么道义？ 让我为您分解一下：

• 比您意识到的泄漏更多应用的泄漏您的确切位置。 (More apps leak your exact location than you realize.)

  • These apps often ask you once, and then broadcast your location multiple times a day. I'm looking at you Facebook, Twitter, GroupMe, Voxer and Foursquare. I doubt anyone, including this young person, would ever guess that this little voice chat program would give up his address. If adults don't noticed this stuff, how is a teenager (or younger) supposed to?
    这些应用通常会问您一次，然后每天多次广播您的位置。 我在找你Facebook，Twitter，GroupMe，Voxer和Foursquare。 我怀疑包括这个年轻人在内的任何人都不会猜到这个小小的语音聊天程序会放弃他的地址。 如果成年人没有注意到这些东西，那么青少年(或更年轻)应该怎么做？

  • Folks at Voxer - You need to make location services OFF by default.

    Voxer上的人们-默认情况下，您需要关闭位置服务。

  比您意识到的泄漏更多应用的泄漏您的确切位置。 (More apps leak your exact location than you realize.)

• 你的孩子不知道。 然而。 (Your kids have no idea. Yet.)

  • They may be social this and savvy that, but honestly, they don't realize how much info they are leaking. Take a moment today and talk to them about it.

    他们可能对此颇有社交意识，但老实说，他们没有意识到自己泄漏了多少信息。 今天花点时间与他们讨论。

  • You've had the Drugs Talk, the Sex Talk, now have the Location Services Talk.

    您进行过毒品对话，性对话，现在进行了位置服务对话。

  • You can turn off Location Services on a per apps basis, and you can also turn on Restrictions on your phone so that only some apps (Find my Friends, for example) can access the GPS while others (Twitter, Voxer, etc) can't.

    您可以基于每个应用程序关闭位置服务，还可以打开手机上的限制，以便只有某些应用程序(例如“查找我的朋友”)可以访问GPS，而其他应用程序(Twitter，Voxer等)可以访问GPS。 t。

  你的孩子不知道。 然而。 (Your kids have no idea. Yet.)

• 为您的家人制定位置服务政策 (Have a Location Services policy for your family)

  • As stupid as teens often are, they are smart when armed with information. Explain the situation, show them the control they have and apply your family policy.
    就像十几岁的孩子一样愚蠢，当他们掌握信息时会很聪明。 向他们解释情况，向他们展示他们的控制权，并应用您的家庭政策。

  为您的家人制定位置服务政策 (Have a Location Services policy for your family)

Hope this helps your kids. Spread the word.

希望这对您的孩子有帮助。 传播这个词。
