    …okay.

    So it wasn’t a stupid enough to begin with, now it’s being used for even more stupid reasons 👍

      This isn’t stupid. To me, this is yet another potential tool to erode privacy.

      Even if it’s right only half of the time, that might be enough to reasonably guess your location based on your image uploads, particularly if you have uploaded more than one image, or a video.

    Make sure you run any image you upload through a meta data eraser.

    I like exiferaser on Android.

      That won’t do anything here. It’s identifying location based on indicators in the image itself.

        I was thinking more random screen shots, but yeah I suppose there’s a ton visual information to identify a location in a picture.

        I’m only posting it here, where the audience steers trans and left. It was a joke, no need to get salty.

            1. I post a picture of a secluded spot.
            2. People of a specific group do a reverse maps search.
            3. Said people invade my secluded spot.
