You need to remove the location services so that doesnt happen not only photos being tracked everything I remember when my phone new my office and my house.... turned it off after that

It's not about growing legal or illegal. It's about getting ripped off or worse. That is why you HAVE to turn Location Services off when taking photos with an iPhone or your GPS, longitude/latitude coordinates are imprinted in the information of your photos.
I just use a VPN on all my devices with the Obfuscated Server. I have a medical license but it all is federally legal still so I be careful as possible.
On Android you can turn off the geotags on for your camera in the settings. None of my pics have data even when running gps. Yes, I have thoroughly investigated this and triple check just in case if I am ever going to upload any pic, related to this or not. My privacy is my own. Ps. I missed the part about goggle scraping map data. Although I use waze, im sure they probably have a way into my waze account. I will be turning off all data and location services before I post anymore pics even though no Metadata or tags are on the pics themselves. Thank you GawCah for drawing my attention to my oversight! I greatly appreciate it!! You all make this forum a great place to come and questions and are so helpful and so very kind from what I have experienced so far. Its so rare in forums and I really like it here Edit was for the ps.
TL;DR - this topic is so important to resolve as and for the community. I vote in favor to make the platform responsible for scrubbing all geo locations prior to any uploads on this site. It it's a massive security and risk concern that only protects the WHOLE community. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
