This has been possible for years - the GPS feature on a phone isn't the problem...the idiots that post absolutely everything all the time and share it on Facebook and Twitter thinking that clicking their "Friends Only", button will make it secure data are the problem. If you don't want people to be able to find the info - don't post it...

It's possible to remove GPS info from pictures with metadata strippers like the free BatchPurifier LITE.

HAHAHA! This should be called "Kansas news crew turns on the off-by-default GPS EXIF tag feature and hypes it to the max to scare the fuck out of everyone BECAUSE FEAR MAKES GOOD HEADLINES!" They left out SO MUCH that this is a joke to me. I have an EXIF viewer app and NO GPS tags in any pics I've seen are accurate coordinates. Even my own. LOL.

Right? A child is most likely to be sexually abused by someone the family knows and trusts. I know of 9 sexual abusers just in the two sides of my family. Most of them were never convicted due to a lack of evidence.

You can be perfectly safe by ignoring the people trying to scare you. The risk of people knowing where a photograph was taken is minimal. What is WRONG with Americans these days? Why have we all become COWARDS?????

Dear people who are freaking out:
Your address is also in a PHONE BOOK. If somebody wants to find you, they will find you. It's not just online and on social media.
