    Hello friends, 

    I wanted to ask a question about safety on the forum and in the Inkscape chat channel ( Rocket chat ). 

    I've notice users are uploading jpegs from their phones and these sometimes contain GPS coordinates and other exif data. 

    I don't want to be a pain or look on the dark side.

    However, GPS has become more accurate these days ( sometimes to a 5m radius ). 

    I know how to strip it out before uploading so it doesn't bother me. 

    However for users over 13 ( If that is still the legal age for using forums ) but under 18 - I can see that as being undesirable. 

    Is this something that could be looked at ?

    Looking into the problem. There's no easy solution, it will require a custom form filtering code to call out to `exiftool` to remove png, tiff and jpeg exif data.
