    Though I think most platforms already strip it for you (or at least the really confidential stuff like location). That’s what I noticed when uploading and downloading an image and comparing the data on different platforms.

      Yes, I already mentioned that in the title. However, it is always bad practice to rely on a third party for your privacy. Especially a third party that profits off of your data.
