Facebook Camera app really, really wants to know your location
Found on CNet News on Saturday, 26 May 2012
As users have noticed, the Camera app requires iOS' Location Services to be turned on so it can access your locally stored photos, and the app won't let you upload a shot if you simply deny it location access from the get-go.
The work around: Just make sure that when you take photos with the iPhone camera, you've turned off location permissions. No GPS data is then attached to your photos. Then you can go into Facebook Camera and upload them location-free.
Also, while it will be little comfort to those truly paranoid about location privacy, users of the app can choose whether to share a photo's location data when posting it to Facebook.
Why doesn't it cross their minds to just avoid Facebook? If sharing your location is a privacy problem for you, then you sure have overlooked a bunch of other privacy issues already. A truly paranoid person would avoid Facebook like the plague because it represents everything that person hates.
