"Hey everyone! The IRS is using your check-in data to police the places that you frequent!"

I'm sure nothing bad at all would happen upon people reading that headline.

Well, perhaps it's already happening. After all, you're voluntarily publishing your location in real-time to the world when you check into Foursquare.

I find it interesting that we do this naturally and without thinking twice about it. Ten years ago the idea might have seemed preposterous.
