    Oh, so it’s not like “person is on their computer” or “person is on their iPhone”? That’s what I was imagining and that can obviously be problematic, since some devices would be location bound, and you might not want someone to know your location. Also if it identifies your device, then it’s another avenue for bullying (apparently kids get bullied for not having iPhones) and some potential security risks.
