if my #camera #app pops up a web address from a qr code in a pic taken across the street. just how much does my camera app now know? android, the default app... how much does it know before clicking the link? after clicking, I figure it'll know soooo much more and so will the qr code creator app, and the redirection app...and everyone in-between, etc...
am I being #paranoid? only if none of that is true...
