I'm surprised at people who can't imagine what's theoretically possible. I always assumed someone could identify my location from a photo if they tried hard enough, even many decades ago before I'd heard of geoguessing or AI. It's just obvious that there's usually enough information in a photo to do that. Even for a grassy field.

There's a simple solution - don't publish your private information. That's how to use the internet 101. If you already did, then maybe it wasn't a very important secret anyway.
