Default Too much information ?

Did you know smart phones are Geo tagging pictures as the default setting ?

So if a girl posts a sexy picture of herself, her GPS location is available in the pictures properties. Advantage to thieves, stalkers and sex offenders. Call me old fashioned but I don't think this is a good idea.

Most people aren't that tech savvy and can easily get lost in the settings menus, so setting defaults to change Geo tracking isn't the answer IMO.

Call me even more old fashioned, but I think posting sexy pictures of yourself is an even worse idea.

Interesting bit of information though, thanks for finding it. Definitely forwarding that link to family/friends (but not the hot chicks....)

Call me old fashioned, but when I see pictures of sexy girls on the internet I just sit there shaking my fist...

I didn't know that kind of info stayed with the picture when you sent/e-mail/texted it to another phone. I thought only the user had that info.

Scary if true, guess I better stop doing that! LOL

Sounds like something an ugly person would say!
