That's true.

Whenever someone else sets your location you should receive an email
notification. It's probably a good idea to show it on the UI as well;
I'll report a bug for that.

BTW, you didn't get a notification yet because we haven't started
running the script which will pick the notifications from the queue and
actually send them.

Is this still a problem if we send you a notification at the time (of a
few minutes later) someone changes your location? Also, note that one
can change your location only until you do change it yourself -- from
there on you're the only one allowed to change it. Not to mention that
you can mark your location as hidden in case you don't want others to
know about it.
