LOCATION SETTINGS
• Most social media platforms ask for this information
• Sometimes it is on by default
• Every Picture has the potential to be searched via the location it was taken.
• What does this really mean?
• Photo’s tagged in one place can lead to finding all other tagged locations (home addresses) Maps removed
