The stripping was more for third party apps. I should be able to decide if instagram sees the EXIF or not.

No. The distinction is that neo-nazis chose to follow a hateful ideology. Gay people did not choose to be gay. I’m not supporting denial of service, in fact I think nobody should be denied service. I’m just pointing out that the equivalen
