privacy

Privacy is a big concern both online and in people's personal lives, but many people are still electing to have their position be tracked, and feel invulnerable. This same GPS technology has been used by the FBI to track people's cars.

Photos taken with the smartphone's camera may be set to imbed the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, in the photo. When users upload their photos to sharing sites like Facebook, they're also releasing information about their location that most people tend to want to keep private.
