Imagine you are a popular content creator on PixelFed, many followers, but many stalkers also. You don’t want people to know where you live. One day you post a picture of the sun out of your window. Exact time is attached in metadata. Assuming GPS metadata is stripped, can someone, using inclination of the sun to the horizon, Nautical Almanac and some math calculate your latitude and/or longitude, and to what precision? Assuming also meteorological data archives on cloudiness, etc.


There’s literally a hobby where people find locations based on pictures stripped of all metadata with very little visual info.
If someone really wants to dox you, the only way to stop that vector is to never post pictures that show outside where you are
You can be geolocated from purely interior details too. Outlet types and other details can be combined to get pretty close.
