Auditing privacy settings on social, minimizing ability for anyone but their immediate circle to see activity. I’d encourage them to be cautious about what they do post and make sure they are aware that location data may be attached to images. I’d likely coach them to use a photo app that removes this metadata for any pic they might want to share (no matter who they intend to share with).

Generally you can do this in system settings, but yeah, most people don't realize this a) follows the image no matter where it goes and b) is enabled by default
Honestly with some stuff we've seen lately, even reflections of notable locations in sunglasses or even eyes might be a concern. Not sure what you do about that.
