I'm a little bit in line with the other folks - if you grant access to a photo, the entirety of that Photo (exif data et al) should be available to the app.

I have another question (and I really don't mean it as snarkly as it'll sound) - if you are trying to keep yourself hidden - why are you posting to a social network (Path) and an aggregation site (hn)?

Should my desire for my personal location to remain private (for whatever reason: safety, professional courtesy, contractual obligations under NDA, et c) mean that I should not want to maintain any other type of digitally-mediated social communication with my colleagues, friends, and family?

That doesn't really make sense now, does it?

Seems to me there are two different questions here.

1) Access. 2) Sharing.

I expect most people would be fine with an app accessing location data in order to present sharing options (Tag?) or respect previously expressed intent (Always tag! / Never tag!).

The problem comes from the app automatically sharing what it has accessed without prompt, seemingly against the expressed intent of the user.

I think the question here is pretty important, even if this particular case seems trivial.
