Beware when posting pictures from your phone

This might not be news to a lot of you guys, but I'm guessing it will be an eye-opener for some.
Before you share photos online, watch this video

There was another thread about this several months ago. As the video mentioned, the GPS feature is easily turned off, and you can also delete it from any existing picture before posting. A lot of indirect posting methods usually strip off this EXIF data as well.
Just for the heck of it, I did a sampling of a lot of kill pictures on Hunt-WA to see if how much of a problem this was. A random sampling of about fifty pictures only produced one pic that had useful data on it. (My new honey-hole... :chuckle:)
