CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 272
A mobile device user is concerned about geographic positioning information being included in messages sent between users on a popular social network platform.
The user turns off the functionality in the application, but wants to ensure the application cannot re-enable the setting without the knowledge of the user.
Which of the following mobile device capabilities should the user disable to achieve the stated goal?
Answer options
- A. Device access control
- B. Location based services
- C. Application control
- D. GEO-Tagging
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Disabling GEO-Tagging ensures that the application cannot add location information to messages without the user's consent. The other options, while they may restrict access or control applications, do not specifically prevent the app from re-enabling location tagging features on its own.
