XP: PSA Cell Phone Pics

Several friends of mine on FB have posted a warning that people can track your location via photos you take with your cell and post online. The news story showed actual examples of how one toddler could be tracked to the playground near her house, her house, and her actual bedroom. Creepy! So if you haven't already, you might want to turn off the Location Services for your photos on your smart phones.

    I saw this too. I've always had mine disabled unless I'm using GPS to navigate. I thought more people were aware of it than that. Also, it drastically enhances battery life when disabled.

    Edited for grammar.

    I always had mine turned off just b/c I'm paranoid. I didn't realize that it was really that easy for it to happen. I guess paranoia pays off!
