If I snap a picture of a pink flower in the open-air foyer
at the AIDS clinic while I'm supposed to be at work, and the
EXIF information shows almost exactly when & where I was, that's
(by it's very revealing nature) certainly intensely
personal information (it's meta-information but intensely
revealing nonetheless).


Remove the EXIF metadata before posting pictures. Problem solved.
