Flickr enhanced privacy settings for local data

Flickr enhanced privacy settings for local data

The photo service Flickr has introduced a new feature that allows the
privacy settings should be simplified with geotagging. Users can now
leave from orbit locations on the map with so-called geofences and
display the location data of pictures taken there automatically only
selected groups of contacts. The display of geotagged, so the location
information to be uploaded photos to Flickr with long individually
adapted. Vordefininierte a default can be overridden at the request of
individual photos.

Flickr geofences said the introduction of the new feature should help
users to deal with their privacy by automating processes and eliminates
unwanted settings as a result of forgetfulness. Photographers can now
for example the location of their house or their child's school by
default, display only close friends and no longer need this setting for
each photo taken there, choose extra. With the introduction of geofences
Flickr would equally contribute to the popularity of geotagging and the
growing community awareness of Internet privacy bill.
