Geotagging is very dangerous
I'm sure a lot of people think geotagging is great but I don't. I believe it to be a very serious security risk if when I send someone a photo they can also tell where it was taken. That would be bad for your kids or even for yourself. I'm surprised we don't get an option saying something like "iPhoto wants to use your current location?" I'd say no given the choice. It's very cool we have the technology to do it but do we really need it? I don't think so and you can call me a Luddite if you like. Under location services my Camera is set to off but I still have places in my photo library showing me (approximately) where I took my photos. It's surprising inaccurate but there are also several photos that are accurate to within a few feet. So it seems that geotagging is going to happen whether I like it or not. I'm not a parent but if I were this would be a reason I wouldn't buy an iPhone for my child. I hope I'm wrong and the geotag is not sent with the photo via email or text. Am I the only one who thinks this way?
