re: #74 GeneJockey

My wife saw a news piece today, about the fact that smartphone pictures will include location in their metadata, which is accessible when you post them anywhere. Using nothing but the publicly accessible metadata in a family’s pics on Facebook, they were able to map a lot of creepy stuff, like the location of the teendaughter’s bedroom, the toddler’s favorite place on the playground, etc, not to mention the location of the house.

I saw the same thing plastered all over my FB newsfeed this morning.
Apparently, all you have to do is go into your phone settings and turn off the location thingie.
Since I only have a landline, I’m clueless about photos by phone, smart or otherwise…
