Removing identifying info from photos- meta data.

[ashton77]

i thought this is very relevant to a site like this. so whenever you take a photo, the file itself will have meta data built into it. this meta data can contain GPS co-ordinates, where and how the photo was taken and a whole host of other info that could be used to identify you. There was this hacker who would post photos of his girlfriends boob on a site that he had just destroyed. He didn't remove the meta data and is now in a federal prison. It makes alot of sense to remove all this potentially incriminating info before uploading any of your photos to a site like this. google meta data remover, its not to hard to do.

This is good practice to do. With the way technology is progressing it will start storing more and more data with every picture you take.

This site removes that data as well as let's you blur out anything incriminating at the same time.
