Ever sold something on Facebook Marketplace and then wondered if the buyer now knows where you live?
So you're about to share a photo of your kids at their favourite park. Harmless, right? Except that image file contains the exact GPS coordinates of where you took the picture. We're talking accuracy within a few metres. Anyone who gets that photo can work out exactly where you were standing.
Every time you upload a photo to social media, something interesting happens behind the scenes. Your phone packs each image with hidden information: where you took it, when you took it, what device you used. The question is, what happens to that information once you press share?
Every photo you take with your smartphone contains more information than what appears on screen. Hidden in the file itself is metadata that can reveal where you took the photo, what device you used, and when it was captured. While most of us share photos without a second thought, this invisible data can pose serious privacy risks.
Your right to protest is fundamental. So is your right to privacy.
Every photo you take has a GPS stamp. Your child's school. The park you visit every Sunday. Your home address.
Your smartphone is a snitch. Every photo you take contains a detailed forensic record.
