I was just thinking about metadata, and it occurred to me that a big part of the problem with "ownership" of your #photography online is that #EXIF data is routinely stripped from files upon upload to social media.

I thought Mastodon would be different, so I downloaded one of my recent photos from here and checked. Sadly, no.

This seems like a huge oversight. I understand some people will want this for privacy's sake, but it should be something that could be enabled per account, surely?

Here's the EXIF data from the file on my hard drive, pre-upload, rightly identifying myself as the "artist".

And here's the EXIF data from the exact same file after it had passed through Mastodon.social's servers, now missing the Artist and Copyright tags.
