  It won't be on by default. And businesses will pay a lot of money for this type of feature. Most people aren't aware that sites like Flickr do the exact same thing already. You have to turn it on.
  
  If you're really worried, just realize that your IP address (just to connect to the Internet) is location aware as well. And the IRS knows where you live! Jeez, relax.
