Why is facebook displaying my location on my profile?

[Andrea]

My profile is set to private and my only friends are my family members. People who are not on my friends list can see a map displaying exactly where i live. That is personal information that i don't even want Facebook knowing and yet they display it to the public.

If there is a way to disable this, i would like to know how. If not, i will no longer have facebook. The first answer containing relevent detail will recieve full points.

because facebook wants us all to become ulitmate stalkers so when the world plays the giant game of hide and go seek planned, we'll have no excuse to be stupid and not find anyone. DUH come on

I think you have to turn it off in the settings. If you can find the settings!!

Also if you are looking to improve your facebook fan page and you could do with some more real fans then you could do what i have done and get some new people to talk to on there! Ill put a link in the bottem for anyone who is interested

Just while we are on the subject of Facebook!
