Photos taken on phones often contain GPS data. If someone publicly shares a photo they’ve taken and the data isn’t scrubbed, it’s trivial to find out where the photo was taken.

Just because it’s easy to uncover doesn’t mean it’s fine to go off and broadcast it. That’s doxxing.

I’m not sure it’s broadcasting. My OS just displays location EXIF by default next to the thumbnail.

It’s only the web browser that hides that stuff.

If a later change to Chrome makes EXIF data easily viewable is then a privacy concern?
