Summary: | Just like the development of social networks, the emergence of geolocation based services raises the question of the disclosure of private information. Conceived as an interpersonal communication system, fostering the emergence of new modes of social interactions in distinct relational spheres, geolocation must also be considered as producing some kind of identity discourse.
