New Instagram location sharing feature sparks privacy fears
The Meta-owned image sharing platform added an option on Aug 6 which shares locations using an Instagram map, similar to a feature rival Snapchat has offered since 2017. — AP SAN FRANCISCO: Instagram users are warning about a new location sharing feature, fearing that the hugely popular app could be putting people in danger by revealing their whereabouts without their knowledge. The Meta-owned image sharing platform added an option on Aug 6 which shares locations using an Instagram map, similar to a feature rival Snapchat has offered since 2017. Some users have since been shocked to discover that their location was being shared, viral posts have shown. "Mine was turned on and my home address was showing for all of my followers to see," Instagram user Lindsey Bell wrote in reply to a warning posted by Bachelor reality television personality Kelley Flanagan to her 300,000 TikTok followers. "Turned it off immediately once I knew but had me feeling absolutely sick about it." In a TikTok video, Flanagan called Instagram's new location sharing feature "dangerous" and gave step-by-step instructions on how to make sure it is turned off. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri fired off a post on Meta-owned Threads stressing that Instagram location sharing is off by default, meaning users need to opt in for it to be active. "Quick Friend Map clarification, your location will only be shared if you decide to share it, and if you do, it can only be shared with a limited group of people you choose," Mosseri wrote. "To start, location sharing is completely off." The feature was added as a way for friends to better connect with one another, sharing posts from "cool spots," Instagram said in a blog post. Users can be selective regarding who they share locations with, and can turn it off whenever they wish, according to Instagram. Wariness regarding whether Instagram is watching out for user privacy comes just a week after a federal jury in San Francisco sided with women who accused Meta of exploiting health data gathered by the Flo app, which tracks menstruation and efforts to get pregnant. A jury concluded that Meta used women's sensitive health data to better target money-making ads, according to law firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, which represented the plaintiffs. Evidence at trial showed Meta was aware it was getting confidential health data from the third-party app, and that some employees appeared to mock the nature of the information, the law firm contended. "This case was about more than just data – it was about dignity, trust, and accountability," lead attorney Carol Villegas said in a blog post. Damages in the suit have yet to be determined. – AFP

From classroom to courtroom
Law students during their industrial visit to the Parliament of Malaysia, gaining firsthand exposure to the nation's legislative process. LAW is one of the oldest and most respected fields of study — and today, it's more dynamic than ever. For those considering a law degree in Malaysia — whether to defend the innocent, shape public policy, or advise in the corporate world, UOW Malaysia stands out as a leading private tertiary education institution. At UOW Malaysia, success in law goes beyond memorising legal jargon; it demands real-world experience, practical training and strong industry connections.

As a recognised Affiliate Centre, UOW Malaysia offers the internationally recognised Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree. The impact of this strong academic and professional foundation is evident in the achievements of its students. A notable example is The Hotshot Series: The Legal Line — a guidebook co-authored by its law graduates Kenneth Chung, Andreanna Ten and New Su Ann while they were still students. Published by LexisNexis and launched by a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, the book features real-world insights from judges, litigators and industry experts. This reflects how UOW Malaysia's law students are not only academically capable but also well-equipped and inspired to contribute meaningfully to the profession. Yet, it's not just about prestige and accolades — what truly sets UOW Malaysia's Law School apart is how the institution prepares its students for the real world. Here, law students learn in an engaging and supportive environment, where small class sizes encourage deeper participation and closer interaction with their lecturers. The faculty also offers personalised academic guidance to ensure every student feels supported — both academically and personally — throughout their journey.

These hands-on components provide law undergraduates with direct insight into the legal system, helping them connect theory to real-world practice. At UOW Malaysia, students are not just prepared for a law degree — they are groomed for a legal career with the confidence, clarity and ethical grounding to thrive in any legal setting. The UOW Malaysia Law Society organised Law Awareness Day to engage and inform students about key legal issues. Versatile future The institution recognises that every student's journey is unique.
