@ajsadauskas @alan @technology @pluralistic You’re talking about Photos, not the camera app. You can disable location data collection in the camera app: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/9921876?hl=en#zippy=%2Cgoogle-devices
Cameras write location data to the image itself as metadata. If they’re using a content addressable storage system, they can’t update this data without changing the underlying image itself. Seems like edits in Photos are stored separate from the image itself. Editing image metadata may require architectural changes.
