WARNING! Be careful with geotags on your pics!

[crezo]

HI all. After a recent discussion with a friend about geotags on photos... And the fact he had no idea his phone automatically tags where the pics are taken, I thought I'd do a test on some images people post on here.

It turns out a massive percentage seem to have been tagged too.

So can I just ask everyone to be very careful to make sure if they are taking and posting photos with their phones that you make sure you switch off geotagging, as right now I can see the exact house that a lot of these photos are taken in right there in the image data.

Whilst 99.9% of us on here are above board, there will always be lurkers who are not. So please be careful people and help to keep your beloved wrist candy safe.

That's it for you mid week public service announcement ;)

To the mods... Might be worth making this a sticky... Or adding a warning about this in the intro discussion board for new members.
