Title: Image proxy protect people from themself? Passes exif Post by: bitpop on January 18, 2014, 07:06:36 AM I know this forum is liberal. But certain precautionary steps should be taken.
Right now the proxy passes exif data, what do you think about sterilizing images? This is a real threat with more and more gps coordinates being included. Example (no gps though): https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.i.cbsi.com%2Fcnwk.1d%2Fi%2Ftim2%2F2014%2F01%2F03%2FDSC_0758.jpg&t=536&c=lzjV3-xLXoRlNg Title: Re: Image proxy protect people from themself?

I guess people can remove that themselves though before posting, or am I missing something here?

People usually use imgur which sanitizes Title: Re: Image proxy protect people from themself?

The latter has never been the forum's job.

I'm pretty sure they all can be turned off in the settings of your phone. |
