This is not only a bug but a nice legal minefield. I had my location set my some random user. This is disturbing to me as I have had people actively try to harm myself and my kids, and these people are stalkers (Causing myself to have to move multiple times). They know my name, and can use google to find my launchpad page, and from there the location to start searching in again.

I'm placed myself on a pacific island now. I'm not impressed, and I feel this misfeature should be corrected asap.

Now - what would happen if something bad were to happen to a user or their family because someone other than the user set their location details on launchpad, and that was used to track down that user and/or their family to cause the bad thing to happen ? I'd suspect legal proceedings would be occuring quite quickly after such an incident.

To reiterate in my original bug.

1) No one should ever under any circumstances ever, for any reason, be able to edit my profile except for myself.
2) I do not want any location at all listed for my account. I want that restored to the previous unset setting, and for it to remain that way.
