While metadata makes it easier to organize
photos, revealing metadata of your photos can
be vulnerable to cyberstalking
If you don’t want to be found, make sure you
disable geotagging function
11. Connecting Online: Strategies
Consider your privacy settings. Who are you
allowing to view your location?
If your location-based social network is linked to
a Twitter or Facebook profile, your location is
shared on these networks too

What you shareWhenever you post something, it is open to interpretation – they people who know you well will see it one way, the people you don’t will see it another.Who you share it withWhat you share with your friends, you may not want your employers to see and what you share with your family, you may want to keep private.
Consider your privacy settings. Most location-based social networks allow you to tailor your settings so you can control who sees your location – just your friends, businesses too, or perhaps anyone.Remember also that if your location-based social network is linked to a Twitter or Facebook profile, your location is shared on these networks too.
