Who the fuck doesn't know this????

All you need to do is read the feature list when the phone OS was released and it says "Now supports geotagging!" Duh!

I swear the world is getting more and more retarded as time passes by.
I supposed they were talking about geolocation that is now part of some browsers.
But first you have to grant the website that wants to use geolocation to locate exactly where you are, permission.

So in this case, I really don't see the problem. Just don't give permission.
This youtube video is somewhat sensational and doesn't explain how this problem arises.
The solution is never make any picture with your smartphone and never post it online ?

The problemlooks for sure posting a picture online with geotagging.

Now I am going to read first about EXIF-data. Thanks.
