It's a complete violation if it's a new or changed setting from the default state of the user not having it possible. Something to consider - location is geo-encoded already into photos and doesn't need this uploaded to Apple servers. Searching can be done locally on device for location. Apple goes as far as to offer a setting to allow the user to share photos and remove the geocoding from it. Offering a new feature is opt-in. Unfortunately, against my better wishes, this only erodes trust and confidence in Apple that if this is happening visibly, what could be happening that is unknown.
