Your photos might include information of the exact location and time of the photo taken, your photo/camera models etc. Companies, governments, or someone with bad intentions can use such information for their benefits against you. This can easily be accessed by AI as well.
On Windows 11:
- Right-click on the file
- Properties
- Details
- Remove properties and personal information
Lots of people don’t care, but I guess this could be useful for some of you.
That would destroy the majority of Lemmy though
The data is different for a ‘photo’ one took vs one of many other types of image. Your camera/phone can often include a lot of surprising data, possibly even your PII or location. An image you made in krita or with a screenshotting tool is somewhat less likely to have such data.

What the actual hell is all that?
Check their history. They are stalking and harassing a couple of users they have a disagreement with.
What the actual fuck
Holy shit. Like at least a full on week of this…

Dude, block them and move on. It’s not healthy to obsess about stuff like that. It’s just adding stress that you could easily avoid.

I read through that conversation. They didn’t doxx you. You appear to be having some sort of mental health crisis, maybe log off the internet for a bit and talk to someone you trust.

Use the block button and move on. Otherwise you are breaking Lemmy’s harassment rules.

Then report their comment and move on. This form of “consequence” is but harassment that doesn’t cast you in a good light either. We all have bad days, we all get agrivated by things sometimes. If you need someone to vent with you can message me directly if you like, but I would advise taking a step back after reporting the original comment because you may look back on this as them being mean, but regret your actions as well.

Pretty sure posting the exact same unhinged comment 100 times is not going to get you anywhere that posting it…uh…once?..would have.
That said, maybe screaming into the void is your idea of a good time.
