1 pint of R&R and one tall boy Coors original.
IP address and location from a cellular device is practicality the same thing..
Right?
no. not even close.
this thread is about mods who pulled an ip address from someones account at grasscity and the person got super paranoid over it
what the person doesnt understand is that any forum uses IP tracking, and that IP addresses just tell general location like city and state, and service provider. and that an IP address doesnt "out" your location.
data off your smartphone photos is a totally different thing, when you have your GPS on your smartphone active and you put a photo online anyone can pull the metadata information to know where that photo was taken, because its GPS its exact location or very close too pulling metadata off your photos is not something a moderator would use for their modding on a forum
see the difference? the topic youre bringing up is completely irrelevant to the subject matter of the OP .
the topic youre talking about is this link here, which i created a thread on how to remove metadata from your photos prior to putting it onto here.

Keep in mind that while your ip address may rotate from time to time, your mac address usually won't. Also, the patriot act requires ISP's to keep a log of what IP was used by what mac address and customer at specific times. They keep that data for 90 days as a rule.
VPN's can mask your IP/MAC addresses, but there are ways to trace around or through a VPN. And tor security is known to be broken.
It's really a question of who is looking for you and why. If it is a fed/state agency, they can easily find you; the question is why would they be looking. They don't need RIU's help. If it's a ripper, well, probably not so easy.
