• Never upload images to a website for the website to remove EXIF data for you.
• Always remove the image EXIF data locally on your own machine first.
• Once you upload images onto a website like imgbb.com it immediately distributes it geographically around the world in what is known as a content delivery network, or Content Distribution Network (CDN). The picture is now world-wide.

$ exiftool -all= DeathValley.jpg
