The Powerful AI Tool That Cops (or Other Stalkers) Can Use to Geolocate Photos in Seconds
FIFY
I played with this a couple times. Once it located a nondescript stream in the UP of Michigan to within 200 miles. It knew the picture was taken in the UP. The second was a ferry dock in a foreign country (English speaking). It found a sign and that misdirected it to the other side of the country.
This has always been possible with anything anyone has ever posted publicly before social media. I’m glad sheeple are waking up.
The article is clipped. Is there a non-paywalled version
There are several other sources about it if you don’t want (like me) a paid subscription to read a short article (Paywall skippers show a little more but are also all blocked)

Thanks, bro! I tried 12ft but it didn’t work
The best is smry.ai, but it also don’t show the full article.This PWskipper are all somewhat limited, because the webmasters knows these too. But if it is something relevant, for sur there are also other publications about it, without PW, like in this case.
So, take pictures in monochrome or apply some kind of filters is what you’re saying?
Use generative AI to replace the background of all photos. I’m sure someone will come up with an app that does this automatically one day
We’re getting closer and closer to a scanner darkly.
I was searching for the title of that movie a while ago. Thanks.
There are filters that autonatically blur background.
Use unidentifiable backgrounds or remove them in post. I’d suggest small patches of sand, dirt or grass, walls, etc. Avoid anything that can be found on a map like mountains (and other large scale topography), buildings, power lines, etc.
Can’t you also attempt exif data?
