Hey all,
I hate to alarm people but I was just reading a thread in the security section and it just occured to me that many people are still in harms way from the pot-busting police.
It was mentioned in this thread that digital cameras leave their own fingerprint on every picture they take. This fingerprint contains the specific code for that camera...essentially leading to where the camera was sold and to who bought it since most people dont pay 500-1000 dollars for a camera in cash.
I'm sure most people use debit or credit.....which means that there is a paper trail and therefore the pictures that people load here can lead directly to them should the police do an investigation based on photographic material loaded here on IC.
When I was lurking at Overgrow.com(never made an account).....I noticed that RC made a thread telling people that he had started to include a program into the site that actually removed this vital info from the pictures as they were loaded in the database. He even used someone as an example and posted the data taken from the picture loaded by that certain member....though he did leave out the vital data.
My question is.........is there a program like this on ICmag? And if not...why? Just because the servers are in amsterdam doesn't mean the police can't get all the info they need from the pictures people post.
Any input from admin, mods, and other members is welcome. Unless of course those members are comin here to troll.
Peace, Love, and the danky goodness
