    Literally just after talking about how people are spouting confident misinformation on another thread I see this one.

    Twitter: Twitter retains minimal EXIF data, primarily focusing on technical details, such as the camera model. GPS data is generally stripped.

    Yes, this is a privacy thing, we strip the EXIF data. As long as you’re not also adding location to your Tweet (which is optional) then there’s no location data associated with the Tweet or the media.

    People replying to a Twitter thread with photos are automatically having the location data stripped.

    God, I can’t wait for LLMs to automate calling out well intentioned total BS in every single comment on social media eventually. It’s increasing at a worrying pace.

      Right? And also, that gps data is often not stripped does not vitiate the legitimate concerns that models like these can and will be used to dox people like this. It’s an interesting and novel attack. We can hold multiple things in our heads at once.
