KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Pictures you’ve e-mailed or uploaded from your smartphone could be leaking location information threatening your safety or that of your children.

I disabled my location tagging. There are directions linked in that article on how to do it.

Might have. But I don't really need my pics location tagged anyways.

when i did the initial setup of the phone it asks if i want to use google tracking and all that crap - i unchecked it all...i feel the same, i dont need all my stuff location tagged and stuff...if i feel the need for gps, i will turn it on...not leaving it on automatically
