This setting provides the user an understanding of the current status of Location Services and which applications are using it. Rationale:Apple has fully integrated location services into macOS. Where the computer is currently located is used for Timezones, weather, travel times, geolocation, "Find my Mac," and advertising services. This benchmark recommends that location services are enabled for most users.Many users may have occasions when they do not want to share their current locations, and some users may need to rarely share their locations. The immediate availability of Location Services in the menu bar provides easy access to the current status, which applications are using the service, and a quick shortcut to making changes. This setting provides better user control in managing user privacy. Impact:Users may be provided visibility to a setting they cannot control if organizations control Location Services globally by policy.
