Yep this is correct, location history can be scraped from the EXIF data in the photos in your camera roll.
Does Apple allow disabling the exif feature in the camera app like Android?
Looks like it removes geotagging en-masse but not per-application. You can also remove EXIF from specific photos but that's tedious.

Yes, it did. What's happening now is going on under a different set of paradigms. If you approach today's geopolitics or military considerations with a cold war mindset you will miss things out. Globalization has happened and that changes a lot of things.
"Globalization has happened and that changes a lot of things." This is exactly what they said before WWI.
This specific way FaceApp resonates in mass and social media is quite telling.

One is owned and operated in a country of authoritarian-level data-collection and massive public propaganda and the other is owned and operated by a company in Russian which isn't any better but still determines the media narrative.
You forgot MSQRD owned by Facebook. It's a US company, therefore their data can be requested by FBI, NSA and others upon request without opposition.

Then why have US tech companies like Facebook taken so much flack in the past year for privacy issues? The fact that that has been the case, contradicts your underlying point. Further, on a personal level it likely depends on where you're located. As an American, it matters to me whether the company doing the spying is located in California or Russia. If you're Russian, you might particularly care if the company in q…
Because they got caught up in this last Red Scare. No outrage after Snowden leaks, no outrage for Google. It has nothing to do with privacy. It has to do with Russia. But anyway, Russia can't hurt me as much as the US can, so I take the opposite stance from you. I'm much more wary of my own government spying on me, since they can hurt me a lot more easily than some country on the other side of the Earth.

It's because Russia has been demonised in USA's propaganda over decades. They're selling trying to do the same with China now, except it's more for direct commercial reasons than to protect the ideal of Capitalism as it was before. I grew up getting a lot of "evil commies" messages in US American media and I'm not even in USA (I'm from UK).
I mean China does have connection camps and quite an Orwellian society. Saying this doesn't mean I condone what the US is doing with Latin Americans right now, but the way you frame it suggests that China and Russia aren't doing things that many of us in the West find reprehensible. They are authoritarian regimes after all. (Again, that's not saying the West doesn't also do these things, but I do think there is a cle…
Our greatest responsibility is our own nation. Those who try to engender righteous indignation in us about other nations are usually the ones who benefit most from our own worst deeds and practices.
The coverage on FaceApp and the way they talk about it is ridiculous. When it comes for instance to Snapchat's numbers, the coverage is about the success of the company. How is FaceApp different than all other apps and social networks that are storing all your photos with location and tags to your friends except that FaceApp is a Russian company? I'm not defending FaceApp. I don't use social networks either for the s…
>How is FaceApp different than all other apps and social networks that are storing all your photos with location and tags to your friends except that FaceApp is a Russian company? This is a pretty nonsense statement to make. Maybe the fact they are Russian.
