Recent privacy & safety issues:
– Some users were accidentally uploading pictures to ABFheaven which contained very accurate location data. (EXIF)
– We spend a lot of effort warning users to be careful, guard their privacy, remain anonymous etc. …so this is a huge issue if they are unwittingly revealing their home address, literally. Big problem.
– I decided to shut down all picture sharing functions, temporarily, until a solution is found.The marvellous Rose has now created a tech solution to this, from now on all uploaded images will have any such data removed, automatically.
WARNING: ABFheaven is not responsible for your accidentally including this info in uploaded images. It is your own responsibility. Learn how to use your phone/camera correctly and – to be safe – make 100% sure that this location data function is OFF before you take any picture you want to upload. It is your device, your responsibility.
Moving forward:
– Today, the picture sharing function in private messages will be switched back on.
– Within a few days, all profile Media will be activated again, back to normal.Thanks once more to Rose for her time and effort in resolving this matter.
Thank you Rose!!!!
Fantastic news!
Yay Rose! Yay Michael!
UPDATE: media in profiles has now been reactivated, should be as it was before.
