This is not useful as 90% of normies never had a bad experience about that stuff so they don‘t care. They know about all these points and see no reason to think about that at all as they think they are too unimportant.
As we worry about the minutia of all the elements involved in normie tech, here's a look at at how you can make your media more private. 🪟 📸 Key takeways from our side: ✔️ Metadata wiping: special all needed ✔️ Encrypted Gallery app: F-droid or Direct APK downloads ✔️ Wiping links until the❓character to remove tracking data when sharing from online sources ✔️ Not uploading photos of your family or even yourself onto MS social media since everything is illegally harvested for data (esp children, with the Epstein Industrial Complex, let's do better) ✔️ Refrain from unnecessarily feeding AI your photos. You don't know what nefarious actors will do with it 🤢 ✔️ Using non-Google, non-Meta, non-Apple software itself is a great start. Any more you can think of?

I've kinda known this but not properly acted, except disabling cloud back up some 10yrs ago. I went with a safety first approach of saving to ext SD card (in my phone), that is then synced to my laptop (via syncthing) into an encrypted folder. I'm now thinking that's pretty private too. Unless the act of taking a photo is immediately captured by Samsung regardless of storage? Thanks again for another brilliant article.
the cloud remembers what humans forget. stripping metadata before upload is the digital equivalent of knocking before entering.
