Study for an arm of the marble David and the figure of the bronze David, 1503 #highrenaissance #michelangelo
On the soFab side (we self-host an rss.chat instance at rsschat.sofab.ch), here's how we're handling it in the meantime — from our privacy policy, now live:
Image and video metadata. Images and videos uploaded to mytis.sofab.ch are re-encoded or remuxed on receipt: embedded metadata (EXIF — GPS location, device details, timestamps) is removed and never stored. Files contained in ZIP archives are transferred as-is and are not modified. Exception: rsschat.sofab.ch runs third-party software (rss.chat) that does not yet strip metadata; files posted there keep their embedded metadata.
We deliberately don't patch the rss.chat code we host, so disclosure is our interim answer — if stripping lands upstream, we'll happily delete that exception sentence.
New docs for the API that connects RSS.chat to the server.
