In summary, this video relates to the ability of smartphones to add a geo-tag to a picture which is the exact GPS lcation the picture was taken. In this case they are showing that pictures of a kid could make the exact location of its school, bedroom and favourite hang-outs like McDonalds available to the public!

The answer is to go into your phone settings and disable geo-tagging.

Here are instructions for disabling geo-tagging in various smart phones (http://icanstalku.com/how.php). You can also strip metadata from photo files (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/downloads.html) to get rid of the saved location data. (It's also possible to strip metadata from video files (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) but location data is usually not saved in them anyway).
