most people shut it out and go "lol I don't care, it doesn't effect me"
If you explain the effects of late term musk-ism they'll probably care more. Though then again I thought eating pets in Ohio was a joke and here we are...

That's were the real AI job losses will be.
A chat bot agent to deal with most of managers concerns, and a dashboard of tickets for those the agent can't reply to. The last remaining CEo sits Infront of their dashboard and views tickets, get background and relevant info, and makes a decision based on what's presented.

Seriously, imagine 1 person having the responsibility, being well compensated, and has literally everything presented in front of them like some homer-simpson-working-from-home type thing.
So many VP and CEO salaries could be saved, and let people get back to actually doing useful work.

I'd hate to be the AI "prompt engineer" that spends their day typing "you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company..." type system prompt, tho

It's literally a matter of national security for other nations.

If it’s a photo on my phone, I have location tagging turned off… but I definitely take a screenshot of the photo anyway. The lower quality doesn’t matter to me if I can easily just remove EXIF data.

And the stasi! Don't forget the stasi!

Keep in mind that we're in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don't care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don't know what's happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn't make them bad people, just ignorant.

On modern phones, it will tell you if it's using them. And you can block permissions.

however, given who is the owner, right now the best course of action is to consider xitter as a compromised app and treat it as malware/spyware

Tell them they can find you someplace else.

If you insist that I breathe burning tire smoke to hang out with you, then you'll stop insisting that so we can hang out somewhere else, or you can hang out without me.

exiftool

Metadata contained within the image file.

Using the one from this post this is what I can see (exif data has been stripped or wasn't there):

Here's another example where the data is plain as day:

Exif data can contain everything from the make/model of device used to take a picture, to a gps location of where the picture was taken.

Removing that information depends on what you're using to do it, but can be done with an exif editing tool in pretty much any OS I'm aware of.

Edit: Autocorrect is a pita.

Scrambled Exif on F-Droid to wipe it.

Photo, share, choose Scrambled Exif, wait two seconds, share screen comes back, share with friend, and it sends the picture but not the privacy violations.

It is metadata that can include what type of camera took the photo and precise location from GPS. I open photos in GIMP and then export them, taking care to uncheck the exif and a couple other metadata options.

For techies: would opening my photo in MS Paint and doing "save as png" remove exif data?

If you're on Windows, right click an image, and go into the properties. There should be a Details tab where you'll find a bunch of text fields that can be edited.

There's also data that doesn't even show in there. For example, your camera/phone could be set up to save its GPS coordinates in EXIF so that you can keep track of where the pictures were taken. Naturally, unless it's stripped from the file, that data can be seen by anyone who has access to the file.

Most image editing software should be able to delete any EXIF data, but there is also software that can mass-edit all of that stuff to simplify the process.
