What this question tests

Ability to anticipate risk in a feature involving location sharing, a sensitive category for a youth heavy platform.

Identify the core tension: location sharing adds social value but creates real safety risk, especially for younger or public facing users.
Name specific risks: stalking or unwanted tracking, accidental oversharing, and safety risk for creators with large public followings.
Propose mitigations: default to off, granular sharing controls limited to specific friends, and time limited sharing that auto expires.
Consider the public figure or creator case separately, since they may need it fully disabled or heavily restricted by default.
Define success carefully: not just adoption, but a low rate of privacy related complaints or reports tied to the feature.

Names the safety risk specifically, stalking and unwanted tracking, rather than a vague privacy concerns statement.
Proposes concrete mitigations, default off, granular audience control, and auto expiry.
Treats creators and public accounts as a distinct risk case needing different defaults.

Discussing only the positive use case without naming the safety risk the question asks about.
Proposing a generic add privacy settings answer without specifics like auto expiry or audience scoping.
