Technically yes. Real world no. When you set gps off on your phone you are telling your phone os to stop gps tracking. Thats not to say a certain app wont re-enable gps for its own reasons. Its far more certain to just take the pics and then just scrub them before upload. If uploading pic's makes you feel uncomfortable, then just dont do it. I just went for a run and had my runing app on, and even though I have zero credit it still mapped it, down to about 2m accuarcy, which should be impossible as I have no data cred.
TOR and other protocols are often promoted as being somehow hack proof. This makes me uneasy. Using tor is like driving down main street in an abrams/challanger tank. Yes, you are secure, but you also stand out like a sore thumb, a sore thumb with a flashing blue light and a sign that says "something to hide". I know what I am saying is gonna rankle a few nerves but its just the way it is. TOR anonomises the traffic, but not the end to end points of contact.
But hey, thats just my opinion. And at the end of the day everyone is entitled to ...my opinion...lol
