i just

extracted someone's exact address

from a dick pic

they sent me

incredible stuff happening today

@alina thats hilarious actually
Why would they do that (the address part. The pick itself is probably "being a douche")

@4censord it was consensual ^^

just think it's extremely funny this is possible lmao

@Ivikiwi2 @4censord exif data

phone cameras store your geolocation in images' metadata

@alina @Ivikiwi2 and its one of the first recommendations to turn that of /strip them out for anything.

E.g. mastodon or signal strip these out so you dont doxx yourself on accident

@4censord @alina just assumed any social media would do just for compression sake?
@Ivikiwi2 @alina compression isnt a factor here, compared to the image data the metadata is tiny.
But its good practice to do so to protect your users.

@4censord @alina in my mind they squeeze everything that's why they need leetcoders

But ig that wrong look at the Ai nonsense 💀

@Ivikiwi2 @alina I mean, many do compress images to save in storage and bandwidth
But that is unrelated to the metadata

@4censord @alina how many images do they store? This gotta add up?

Or they sneakily collect It
That would be smarter huh
