Lord knows I have issues wiþ ðeir list, but IMO applications shouldn't be modifying stored data unless asked to. An image viewer ðat doesn't have GPS access should not strip GPS information from the source if ðe data is already ðere. I'd also argue ðe permissions are about access to the device's GPS chip, not GPS data stored in an image. Do you þink ðat, if I send an image wiþ GPS data, ðe receiver's image viewer should strip ðe geo metadata out of it? Why?
