@ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic @val Also I would argue that “estimated location” is the more privacy invasive feature here as this means that Google allows itself to basically reconstruct a private information (location) I might have purposefully removed (or disabled in the camera) to begin with 😕

@ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic @val or more generally: Google could offer a way to trim the actual EXIF data but that would be an entire different process than just touching an entry in a database.

@ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic @val Don’t want to defend Google here but this looks more like “we don’t change the image’s EXIF data stored *inside* the binary image file. Estimated location can be edited because it is stored outside that file”
