If anyone here uses iOS, here’s a shortcut that removes metadata, which can be placed in the share sheet: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3e2e51a1463744469a7dd5406732942a
There’s also ExifTool, which can be run inside a-Shell and iSH; Metapho, which is a standalone paid app; and I believe ImgOnline has a tool as well.
This isn’t anything to do with metadata. Its about simply the scenery fed into a geospatial vision LLM to predict location
Forget an LLM. I’ve seen people on 4chan figure this stuff out based on a cloud in the photo!

That can always happen if you post a photo. People from your region may recognise things. Police also has experience checking for clues in pictures, like wallpapers or other decorative items. This technology just expands the number of persons who can find out in a short time.
My point is: If you want to hide, don’t give people clues. This has always been the case.
Within 15 miles isn’t really doxxed. You can get better accuracy with GPS or cellular tracking. This seems like fear mongering. “Oh NO! AI is so dangerous!”
