A lot of folks accepting image uploads don't realize they need to remove the exif data from the images, as that often leaks gps coordinates if they were taken using a cell phone. With imagemagick, you can use the `-strip` flag[0] when processing the images to remove that info.
It's shame all exif info is stripped. I like to see the camera info, such as focal length, aperture and what lens too for interchangeable lens cameras.

A responsible site will strip this on the user’s behalf, but no one should rely on that.
If I want to be lazy about it and quality doesn’t matter, I’ll take a screenshot as a quick way to strip EXIF data, the location being the key piece I want gone.

Looks good too for imgur which typically has no metadata on the images https://imgur.com/i2iHgAI https://i.imgur.com/i2iHgAI.jpeg
Thank you for this useful extension.
