"Designers say users can post anonymously and should strip metadata from files they send."
Talk about poor design. Instead of automatically stripping metadata, they rely on users to do so. On a mobile phone.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoWould you trust them if they auto-stripped the metadata for you?
- aidenn0 12y agoI think I would strip the metadata, but also want them to auto-strip.

Personally, I would probably leave all the metadata intact and leave contact information if I were submitting pictures of a riot. I don't agree with Nate Cardozo. If you're in public then you may be photographed and those photos may be shared with other parties, including law enforcement. More concerning is access to the database of photos. Anyone who is accused must have full access. It wouldn't be right if prosecutors were able to withhold exculpatory evidence.
