Allow stripping EXIF data in shared image #1562

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating public shares of images, they (obviously) point to the original image file. It would be useful with a share option that creates a version of the image (dynamically on access or pre-processed) with sensitive information like geo tags, etc. removed.

Describe the solution you'd like
When sharing an image, add a checkbox (or more elaborate UI) saying "strip EXIF tags". This should leave the shared file with only basic information like file name, resolution, and exposure information. Camera make/model, owner information, geolocation information and other potentially sensitive information should then be removed.

Optionally, and perhaps preferably, convert the image to a standard format (JPEG) if the original is HEIC or otherwise.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually creating and maintaining a copy of all images has been attempted, and while it "works" it is a massive waste of resources and effort, and not elegant in the slightest.
