Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"
Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.
From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."
It's enshitification in action.

@ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic I recommend ObscuraCam. It can remove metadata from existing photos, detect and obscure faces, and take photos without metadata.

@miah @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic it looks like this app is old? I'm trying out "Secure Camera" from the @GrapheneOS folks. Works great so far.
@dizzyspiral @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic @GrapheneOS oh no it's old!
