Huh, I knew that image EXIF tags were risky as far as they could have GPS cords, I had not realised that the actual full serial number (and firmware version) of my camera was in it too!
one honk maybe more

This is actually a service that makes good use of the s/n. (tl:dr can be used to track down stolen equipment)

@benjojo that is why I always run all my pictures through `exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -exif:Orientation -overwrite_original "$1"` before uploading them anywhere. This will clear all exif tags except the Orientation

@benjojo It can be handy during copyright arguments. My Sony A7IV captures like 247 separate bits of exif data 😅
