Be aware of your GPS meta-data in images
Re: Be aware of your GPS meta-data in images
For anonymity, it says more about the person who looks up the GPS location. What if it's someone you know ... well that means he dwells this forum too, means you can hang out together because you have something in common
Or am i missing something here?

Re: Be aware of your GPS meta-data in images
Well mostly there are people here who have reasons not to include such metadata in their images. While most really don't care about it, but some of us do. In the US, doll ownership is seen as a deviant behavior that must be treated like an illness. And there are people who run crusades to silence this at all costs. I decline to disclose that, Google is your friend on this one.m00zes wrote:Might i ask what the big fuss is about? So they have the location where the picture is taken ... it's not like people are going to break in and steal your doll.

For our safety, this is why some of us (me included) refuse to include location metadata in our photos.
HTH.
But I do have a friend in common who is a TDF member, that person lives right down the street from me. But we don't put GPS metadata in our photos of our dolls. Never ever. The reason why we both share the same idea for the same reason.
And yes, GPS metadata led a doll hater to a TDF member's place and his doll got killed in a sense. I can't remember to whom it happened or when it happened but this is why we agreed as a doll lover community to not include such metadata.
NB: I only allow certain apps access to the Location permission in Android. Those are:
- MITS Time (Bus Schedule and Locator for Muncie Indiana Transit Systems)
- Google Now

Who the fuck came here just to track down doll lovers? That's such a strong and involved hatred, it's basically terrorism...AlexaTilbrook wrote:m00zes wrote: But I do have a friend in common who is a TDF member, that person lives right down the street from me.

I hope the doll owner was armed and killed the piece of shit that did it, that would be a justified homicide in my book, and if anyone fucked with my dolls, I would track em down and make their last day worse than the Hell i send em to. Just saying.

Re: Be aware of your GPS meta-data in images
An image file has, besides the image itself, a lot of data about the image in it.roost 940 wrote:ok I'm confused now lol. So what is meta data and how does someone see it from a picture. I understand GPS but didn't know it could be seen other than when its added to a tag on Facebook or Twitter or some of the other social media BS sites.
Most image viewers show this data when you go to 'properties'. Also, on Windows you can see this data when going to file properties.
Meta data often shows the camera brand and model, lens, camera settings, date/time, software used, copyrights, much more, and also GPS data if available.
If you don't want GPS data, disable this at your camera, or remove it afterwards. Windows can do this for you. You may remove all meta data or only GPS data.
How to do this on Apple devices or Android, I don't know, ask others

Re: Be aware of your GPS meta-data in images
If you use the same camera for photos of other subjects and you share those more widely, something like that could allow different online identities to be connected.
I use "exiftool -all= filename.jpg" to clear everything before posting just to be sure.
