Metadata has been used in the past to locate people from pictures they took. For an example, see <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/12/04/166487197/betrayed-by-metadata-john-mcafee-admits-hes-really-in-guatemala">NPR: Betrayed by metadata, John McAfee admits he's really in Guatemala</a>.
