Marauder's Map, a Chrome extension that showed your Facebook friends' exact physical whereabouts, was officially axed on Thursday.
Harvard computer science major Aran Khanna, an incoming Facebook intern, announced he had created Marauder's Map in a Medium post earlier this week. For a time, users who downloaded the Chrome extension gained access to a map that precisely pinpointed the location of their friends on a map that popped up in Facebook on desktop. The caveat: Facebook friends also needed to be Messenger users, since the app tracks user locations by default.

'Go ahead and see how many messages in your chats have locations attached — I’m guessing it’s a lot of them,' Khanna wrote. 'And if this isn't already starting to get a bit weird, the first thing I noticed when I started to write my code was that the latitude and longitude coordinates of the message locations have more than 5 decimal places of precision, making it possible to pinpoint the sender’s location to less than a meter.'

For casual Facebook stalkers — and come on, there are a ton of us — it seemed too good to be true, and it was. (For people worried about actual stalkers, it was more of a nightmare.) Khanna told Mashable he deactivated the official version at Facebook's request, although a complicated workaround is available on Github.
Defunct or not, Khanna's pet project quite literally highlighted what's possible with Facebook's technology when you're a savvy coder. And while Marauder's Map accessed Messenger data that was technically already available, the way it precisely surfaced all that information raised serious questions around user privacy. (The name was a cheeky reference to Harry Potter, who had possession of a magical map that pinpointed the location of everyone at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in real time.)
For the two hours Marauder's Map partially worked for me, I could track a friend who was in Palo Alto for meetings down to the exact building. Because we're Facebook friends, we have an assumed level of trust, but I doubt he would have been comfortable had he known I, and other friends, could track him this way.
Facebook, for its part, said it's working on it.
“We've been listening to people's feedback, and for the last few months have been working hard to improve this experience,' a Facebook Messenger spokesperson told Mashable.
'We will be rolling out improvements very soon. In the meantime, people can still choose to turn off location sharing at any time by tapping the blue arrow in the message composer.'
AT FACEBOOK'S REQUEST I HAVE DEACTIVATED THE OFFICIAL VERSION OF THE APP (CAUSING THE MAP TO NOT DISPLAY). FURTHERMORE, FACEBOOK HAS DEACTIVATED LOCATION SHARING FROM THEIR DESKTOP WEBSITE SO THIS CODE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY ANYMORE.

Where did this come from?
This chrome extension was written to accompany my Medium post (which can be viewed here https://medium.com/@arankhanna/9da8820bd27d) about the creepy potential of theloaction data we often inadvertently reveal about ourselves on Facebook messenger, due to its defaults of always sharing yourlocation when sending messages from the increasingly popular mobile app.
What does this do?
This code scrapes every Facebook message sent by your friends or you with a location attached and then plots those locations chronologically on a map which can be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/messages/
This is not meant to be used as a tool to creep on your friends, rather a demonstration of the scary amount of information you can gather on someone just by aggregating the data they provide through messenger. Hence I made no attempts to facilitate the data generation process, and I ensured that all gathered data disappears on page reload.

You can review the source code here to see how it works. Most of the action happens in src/bg which has the background javascript file for the extension and src/fb which has the content script which runs on the facebook messages page.You can see that none of the data scraped by this extension ever leaves your local browser.
