We have seen many posts here over the past few weeks about infosec and the risk of tracking someone using the geotag info in photos taken with smart phones with geotagging enabled and with cameras with geotagging enabled.
I would like to put you at a little ease with this information, Facebook strips this data from your photos as they are uploaded so the location in which the photo was taken is no longer available on your picture on Facebook.
We have a few more tests to run but as of right now you are safe to post your geotagged pictures on facebook, but on another hand we can not confirm at this time that facebook does not still have access to this tagged info but rest assured the general public does not have access to it.
