It\u2019s called geotagging and it\u2019s such a big part of mobile photography that you can\u2019t use many camera apps on an iPhone without enabling location data (see\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/disable-geotagging-for-photos-on-iphone-ipad\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/disable-geotagging-for-photos-on-iphone-ipad\/<\/a>\u00a0). While geotagging photos has some great benefits like being able to map all your vacation photos so you can see exactly where you went, it can have a dark side in the wrong hands. It\u2019s relatively easy to stalk someone simply by looking at geotagged data of all the photos they post online. You don\u2019t need access to their device for this. The implication here for education is when you have a group of young students posting photos online from some assignment or field trip. Even if they do not appear in the photo themselves (perhaps they took a photo of a cat), their location data is still embedded in the photo and this means that child\u2019s location could be tracked. To illustrate this point, researchers created a demo where they track cats all over the world.
