A test that might fool this. You will need:
1. A facebook status update/checkin/access from a particular location.
2. A photo taken without EXIF data at around the same time as the update/checkin/access above, but from a completely different location.
Upload the photo using your facebook account. Check whether they get the location right. If yes, the mystery continues. If no, but the location is somewhere other than where you updated your status/checked in from, the mystery deepens. Else, they're pairing the times together.
- finnw 15y agoI think I'll set the date on my camera to 1911. A human seeing the timestamp on the picture will just assume its a Y2K bug and will guess the correct data. Since that's extremely unlikely IRL, the Facebook algorithm probably won't know to make this correction.
