And if you turned it on, you're stupid for doing so. |

Cat.Man.Deux (OP) User ID: 19724631 United States 08/12/2013 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK I get it. I knew about metadata, but this was still news to me. I resisted getting a smart phone for a long time, till a certain young lady asked me if I would like some "interesting" pictures of her. Bought one the next day. Somebody else may be new to it and I certainly think it bears repeating. It's just a few temporarily sequestered electrons, guys - it ain't asking you fer' sandwiches or cold beers, fer cryin' out loud. |

T-Cain Top Hat User ID: 45030485 United States 08/12/2013 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The latest case I had, the wife had been sending pics of her softball nights with the girls to the the husband since spring. We looked at the EXIF data. Turns out she had taken them at different times and places and was using them as stock photos on the nights she was with her boyfriend. Neither of them knew about EXIF. Busted. Now they're divorcing. She doesn't even play softball. |

Citizenperth User ID: 44396812 Australia 08/13/2013 12:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My kids don't have smart phones or even dumb phones. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45037946 There is a word in English that is spelled, N... O... It spells NO. You want a phone? Tough shit. Go prune the grapes and contemplate Plato's Republic. There will be a test before bed. i have a smart phone... i call it my tracking device... i have to put it on at work, and then it goes off. i have to use it in silent mode at work, and never check it whilst i am there i have an answering machine at home. if people want me, they can call me. if i want to answer, i will, and if i dont? they can leave a message. any other time, my time is my own, and i don't like being distracted by randomness at the beck and call or whim of others. people think i am a little stubborn about it. and yes, yes i am..... i am driving a car, not pulling over for idle chit chat and the rest... i am resting listening to the birds and watching the sun go down, not freaking out about your diatribe about appointments i have to attend tomorrow, not during my evening bliss, the meeting? i will deal with this at the time that was allotted to it... life is good that way, everything in its place, turn turn turn....

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45036672 New Zealand 08/13/2013 02:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the implication is that pedophiles will stalk your kids Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45036672 there are kids everywhere so why would a pedo go to the trouble of finding YOUR kid with exif data? seems like just more fear mongering It already has happened. :failyou because something is in the realm of possibility, even if it has actually happened once or twice or 1000 times, still doesn't make it something to be afraid of, to worry over, to change your life because it "could" happen it is much much more likely that pedophiles will stalk your children at school I would pull your kids out of school and homeschool them before I would get all worried about exif data |
