So I thought it'd be a cool privacy feature for Mastodon to automatically strip EXIF metadata from photos (e.g. GPS latlong, date, etc.). Turns out Eugen already thought of that! 😁 https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/85

I even checked some uploaded photos with ImageMagick; they're all empty! BTW here's the EXIF data from a typical photo I took on my Nexus 5X. I really did have to make the text that small to fit.

@nolan I would have keep it as an options. Tomorrow I'll be glad to have a plugin that can map all my pictures. Balance privacy/features

@Robbie good point, this is something potentially configurable per-user

I love that @Gargron is stripping EXIF data.
In the future, I'd like to be able to opt in on including EXIF data for specific photos.
Geography is a valuable index into content.
