  "> What if they just ran away on their own?" Happens less often than you'd hope. Usually such victims require support from others. "> Anyway the point is there are plenty of situations where you'd want to hide your location but might erroneously think a photo from your window doesn't reveal too much info." I'm sure there might be some fringe examples, but "plenty"? Nobody has yet suggested even one plausible example so far. And even the examples in the article were from people who didn't care about revealing their location to begin with (eg in the first example, the subject announced he was in Miami as well as taking that picture). But I'm sure there are some examples of people stupid enough to share a picture of their location and not realise it might reveal their location to other people; I'm rarely surprised by the stupidity of the worst case scenarios. But I also doubt those sorts of people who lack even that level intelligence would be the kind to people who read articles like these. So whichever way I look at it, I can't see anyone's life saved (metaphorically nor literally) by the research conducted by this author (as interesting as it might be to many of us).
