Just because a site (let's say imgur, for example) strips your EXIF data before making your images public, doesn't mean they aren't logging it before stripping the data. If they get hit with a subpoena they could even be forced to log it without telling anyone.
It's probably impossible to have privacy these days. Amazing the amount of rights tech giants have managed to breach without facing a lot of repercussions.
You're right but I still try no keep some privacy, using a DNS level ad and tracker blocker on my home network, Ublock origin, Firefox, etc. It's not much but every little bit helps I guess
There are photo/video editors and applications that allow you to delete/wipe the EXIF data. Then comes the the question whether said application or editor is compromised and uploading your data, and if everything in existence is an op, and ....:doomjak:
But still it's always better to wife the EXIF metadata, even if everything is an op
Anyone serious about privacy should do it (delete EXIF data) to any photos or screenshots they upload, regardless of site policy.

How does one go about manually deleting that data?
