Unfortunately, this type of visitation counter, while seemingly innocuous, can directly or indirectly leak the location data of users (e.g., indicate whether a user’s friend has visited a given location/place) or leak user visitation habits (e.g., number of times a user’s friend has visited a given location/place). Other information provided by the graphical element can include a visitation counter for the location/place, where the visitation counter shows a user how many of the user’s friends on the social platform have visited a given location/place. For each location/place, the displayed map can present a graphical element (e.g., a graphical card) that provides relevant information in connection with a location/place, where the information can include a physical address, a website address, a phone number, user ratings, user comments, an identification that the location/place is popular amongst social platform users, and the like. As a feature, certain social platforms provide a map that presents different locations/places (e.g., coffee shops, restaurants, music venues, and other business establishments) where, for example, other social platform users (e.g., user’s friends on the social platform that enable location sharing) are currently located or for which one or more users have posted media content items (e.g., images with associated with a tag/filter relating to a location/place). For example, social platform users are increasingly posting comments and media content items relating to events or places (e.g., images or ‘selfies’ captured at a place they have visited) in order to share their thoughts or experiences with others on a social platform. The popularity of social platforms (e.g., such as social networking or social media platforms), which facilitate sharing media content, sharing information regarding events or places/locations, instant messaging, and the like, continues to grow.
