    Location sharing doesn’t prevent any of that though?

    Like, no criminal who would want to rape/murder/abduct you knows whether you are sharing your location with anyone. They would do so regardless before anyone can arrive to help you.

    Also, no kidnapper on this planet is stupid enough to take your phone with them. You have a slightly higher chance for authorities to be alerted sooner but that’s about it.

      Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree.

      Just disagreeing that low probability of occurrence automatically means the risk assessment should be low.
