Re: Goe tagging of digital images
Yet just another example of "unintended consequences".
Like the guy said, IF you know about it, you can search images for the one taken near a certain location... but if you DON'T know about it... you can unintentionally post private information on the internet and expose yourself.
No, I did not know about this.

Please, please, keep that raincoat buttoned up.
That photo of your favorite possession can give the location where the photo was taken within a few yards. So be careful.

Re: Goe tagging of digital images
I knew about this.
Did you know your printer probably prints a hidden code which identifies it *specifically* to *your* printer?
There were concerns that the new color printers were good enough to print decent counterfeit cash. To counter that, each printer is made to print an ID mark, specific to the printer (it would be something as simple as 3 red dots in a specific location, such as upper left corner). Not all printers did this, and I don't know if they are still doing it or not, but... just another one of those things.

I have yet to spot something invisible in 70 odd years.
