It's good info to know. Technology is great but it can work against us. Grower's beware!

it is good info, i tried to make my phone do it and i couldnt the pix are up in a previous post. mine just doesnt save that info, maybe its a saftey feature added by the developers of the aftermarket rom i use.

I know for a fact that you indeed CAN be tracked with this technology, and it's becoming used more widely every day.
I just got back from a trip to Costco. (yea, poor miserable me)
But they had cameras for sale that touted this gps feature with pictures.
It is popular for many reasons, not the least of which is playing scavenger cell hunts, and all sorts of outdoor sports safety features.

this was discussed in the internet privacy thread a few months back

DONT STRESS EVERYONE: Imgur, tinypic, and most major quick-uploaders REMOVE the EXIF data. Try it: Upload a pic, then see if you can read the EXIF data from it. ADDITIONALLY, it would appear the forums here already remove the EXIF data. Most image resizing algorithms remove them.
