Another way is to use GIMP which is a free and Free (open source) graphics image manipulation program. You can copy the original as image "selection" (cropping but not cropped) and that drops off all the geo-location data and all the date and camera data. There may or may not be some computer data attached; I haven't checked that aspect with an EXIF data inspector.

Web scraping, sure. But tracking cookies IS comms and I think that is the kind of thing prohibited to govt. . . nt

But as far as what we post on DU (or elsewhere), just be careful the web scrapers can't access it.
