Description
It would be a nice addition to Matrix clients to help preserve privacy by stripping sensitive EXIF data from images that are uploaded. Obviously non-sensistive metadata, such as image rotation, should be preserved.
I propose an option rather than default-always stripping sensitive EXIF data, as there are some situations (perhaps you are sharing images between your forensic analysis peers) where you do not want the client to modify the image file.
