Hmm? The stripping of metadata is done for privacy reasons. People accidentally expose too much info when they take a photo if the metadata is left intact. When sharing a picture online, user&#x27;s don&#x27;t expect that they are also sharing the datetime, location, camera model and settings, and possibly their name (or the camera owner&#x27;s name).<p>The number of people that intentionally add their info to EXIF and want it to stay there is dwarfed by the people that would view that as a privacy violation.
