Wipe Your Metadata!

3 years ago by Catfish [she/her] to c/firearms

Hey comrades, I just want to make sure we're all aware of some basic opsec when it comes to leftist firearms. Whenever you take a picture on your phone or on a camera, Metadata is stored in the file. This metadata can include a lot of information like what phone you're using or the location it was taken. We all care about this for obvious reasons so it's very important that we're making sure to wipe the metadata and any identifiable landmarks or information on images we plan to post here.

Take a moment to learn how to wipe and read metadata on images, you can find information online of how to do this. I personally just use an app on my phone to do it.

Fortunately, if someone forgets to do that here, pictrs will automatically wipe the data for you. That likely won't be the case on other sites, though.

I think images on here get their metadata removed automatically, but yeah I agree with you. We all should probably get used to do it ourselves at least when uploading to other places.
