Redpill me on metadata. Can people really dox you with information in the files you upload online?
Not one or two files. You have to upload consistently to create a unique profile that can identify you.
>>539157691They know who you are bed on pictures but they can't track videos
I always scrub it before posting anythingfuck glowniggers.random people on 4chinz won't be able to see the metadata on the stuff you upload but admins can
>>539157691Yes. Every file contains the creation date, IP address and geographic region of every computer it's been saved to (I am not talking about EXIF, you can't access this metadata on a modern OS)
>>539157691Of courses they just slowly triangulate your identity based on millions of small steps of deduction...But not you Your safe Rajesh
>>539157691>Redpill me on metadata. Can people really dox you with information in the files you upload online?It depends. I know certain files like .jpgs can contain data about the location a picture was taken, the date, the model of camera used, stuff like that. Someone might be able to doxx with this information but it depends. Any image you upload on here automatically has the metadata stripped out btw, so you don't have to worry about it on here. But on other sites it could be an issue.
>>539157830>don't worry posting your stuff on this glownigger honeypot :) you're fine
Probably.But it would not be regular people here... I think were segregated and it's a lot of bots. If doxed it means a government did it, and if they want it done they'll make it up if they feel like it.
>>539157877>>don't worry posting your stuff on this glownigger honeypot :) you're fineWell, glowniggers already know everything about you. If you go online at all then you're automatically fucked in that regard. Your CPU has CIA/Mossad backdoors built into it. The only way to avoid it is to never go online at all.
>>539157691hello daniel
>>539157948cope and seethe tranny, maybe that's true for your goyim setup
>>539157691Most sites unfortunately protect retards like you by deleting it. Not all of them, however
>>539157792shut the fuck up shlomo
>>539157991>cope and seethe tranny, maybe that's true for your goyim setupIts true for all setups with every CPU made after circa 2009
>>539157691Most sites will automatically wipe exif data
>>539157805>you can't access this metadata on a modern OSretarded.If the data is machine-readable, it can be accessed by the OS. You might need a special program to access and decode it, but you can do it.
>>539157805Also you would be able to see the filesize growing as it's moved across computers and has to add more metadata.
>>539157691People can just use OSINT to literally track you down.
>>539157805You stupid fucking schizo, you can just take a file, copy it and save it on several PCs and then compare their hashes.I swear /pol/ gets dumber every year, not that the bar was high to begin with
>>539157691yes and no i don´t tell you how to avoid it
Well Windows files have Alternate Data Streams (ADS) which can be modified without changing file size or checksums.These aren't really used by anything in Windowspace though. (They were originally introduced to enable Mac files to be used in Windows without loss of data.)
>>539157691Just learn some martial arts so you don't have to care about these trivial shit. You only have to be cautious about it because you are a weakling.
>>539157691>>539157805I turned off my location services for everything and re-enabled it for a couple apps i needed. It should be noted that there isn't shit for metadata in most images. The creation date is really only useful for legal/court reasons. The location data has very little use since its not a real time metric. The reason they don't load up metadata with personal information is because OP would be buttfucked by every communist country in the world. All of his personal information would be in databases all over the place. So its kind of a catch 22. You would think they would enable it for spying but the information would be available to everyone not just spy agencies. The damage caused by that is not worth making the information available. All that said if OP is a retard and injects a bunch of metadata about himself or lets some jewish malware program do it thats on him.
