@Jeremiah…. yea, but it is easy to forget you granted the camera that permission as well as forget the camera even records geocodes.

“You are secretly emailing them your EXACT location without you knowing it.”

Not really. The Camera application, like any application that uses the iPhone location services API must, asks for your permission to include your location the first time it is launched. Location services can be toggled easily. I do agree though that everyone should exercise caution when sending GPS tagged photos to strangers.
