Description WhatamIdoing 2014-07-28 21:38:27 UTC 
User:NotASpy made a suggestion about two-thirds of the way through this discussion:  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours/Office_hours_2014-07-19

If a person is using a GPS-enabled mobile device to take an upload a picture, then we could use the GPS data to provide customized messages to them.  For example, the mesage for a user in Russia would be different from the message delivered to useres in Mexico.  

This would allow users to get relevant copyright information, e.g., that freedom of panorama is extremely limited in Russia, but very broad in Mexico.

Comment 2 Ryan Kaldari 2014-07-28 22:45:35 UTC 
That sounds like a great idea, but quite ambitious. Keeping the software up to date with what to show where would be quite a challenge. So far, it seems the bigger problem is just getting mobile uploaders to care about copyright at all (as many of them are just uploading images from the web).
Comment 3 Florian 2014-07-31 16:38:50 UTC 
I think another point is, to explain users why the browser ask for their location for an upload :/
Comment 4 Max Semenik 2014-07-31 16:39:54 UTC 
It's about coordinates from EXIF.
Comment 5 Florian 2014-07-31 16:41:10 UTC 
Ah, ok.
