Smartphone photos

Smartphone cameras pose a security issue ...
Judith Johnston send me this YouTube report which is well worth a look. Many people would not realise that GPS location recording is switched on by default in most smartphones. This means that any photos taken on the smartphone and then posted to Social Networking sites have the exact location the photo was taken embedded in the properties of the image. This can pose a security risk if the photos were of children or the inside of properties.
