"Marauders Map" - Is your location being tracked through Facebook Messenger?

From Sophos Naked Security:

"Marauders Map" - Is your location being tracked through Facebook Messenger?

A Chrome browser extension developed by a Harvard College computer science student allows people to pinpoint and track the location of Facebook Messenger users.

The extension - called Marauders Map after the magical chart from the Harry Potter books that reveals the location of every person within Hogwarts School - works by scooping up the location data of Facebook Messenger users and plotting it on a map.
