GPS data on pics * 1
    #22022311 - 07/30/15 10:03 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I realize that now, pics uploaded to the Shroomery are stripped of location data, but apparently pics uploaded before that went into effect still have that data. At the request of a member tonight I was able to find that member's name, address, phone number, age, relatives, approximate income, email address, and more in about five minutes thanks to a pic that was uploaded to the Shroomery but still had this location info.

I was wondering if it might not be possible to do something about that. It probably only affects a small number of pictures but I still bring it up.

And when was that change made?

Good for me I suppose. You've been here a really long time!

I did. Strangely enough, he said that the photos were uploaded after the script went into effect. I didn't immediately realize that - but the member has not been a member for more than 5 years, so they should have come along after the script was up.

so wait, he did, but after he already uploaded the pics? but you have to turn that stuff off before the photo is even taken

Sorry I'm being obtuse.

He had GPS on, but turns it off now. But the pics, hosted on the Shroomery, were uploaded WITH GPS data intact, AFTER Ythan added an exif-stripping script. I originally thought they were uploaded prior to the script's existence, but that was incorrect. His pics didn't get stripped, and showed his location.

So yes, always a good idea to not have the GPS on in the first place, and he knows that now :thumbup:
