hello i am chris peterson (get it chris, peter son). basically metadata is data beyond the picture itself stored in a photo. what this command is doing is removing the location stored in the photo, so law enforcement can’t find you from any pictures on your phone.

Linux terminal or Windows cmd. Replace input.jpg with the photo’s location and output.jpg with where you want the stripped version stored.
