I always remove this data from my screenshots before sharing, but is there any way to prevent this from happening in the first place? I've searched and searched, but all I can find is information about how to remove the data after the fact, which I already know how to do, but it would sure be nice if it never got added in the first place. Thanks.

If you have the Mossad targetting you, that's an extreme edge-case which has no place in an argument about online privacy.

Except who's trying to argue? I'm merely asking if anyone knows a way to prevent metadata from being saved to my screenshots. I'm not looking for an argument.

If this type of inquiry doesn't belong in this community, I'd gladly take advice on where to ask instead.

It's fine to as that sort of question; I wouldn't say it doesn't "belong in this community". That doesn't mean it makes sense to care about this which is what I wanted to point out.

If you're not looking to question your views, then ignore people like me who do. Though as a general rule of thumb, not questioning your own views may not be the best strategy in life but you do you.

Except you aren't questioning anyone's views, you're making an argument that barely touches the subject it responds to. And doing so in a very argumentative and condescending way.

So yeah, it doesn't really belong in a civil discussion.
