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.
