Camming Security an extensive guide

A lot of data that can be captured about someone is found in meta data. Meta data is data about data. For example, the pictures or video’s you take on your phone will contain the type of phone you have (make and model), basic image data, camera settings, and geolocation data from the phones GPS. To make it worse, publicly posted images are scraped by companies such as TinEye and ClearView for reverse image searches. If someone takes a screenshot of you performing or downloads an image from your fan site, they could use it to reverse image search you. This might point them to publicly available Facebook data of your REAL identity. Disabling geolocation for your phone app and editing or removing the metadata of photos and videos prevents some of this. Ensuring you have your real identity pictures set to be private or removed is also needed for your security.

Both phone apps and desktop applications, like Photoshop, can remove all the metadata. Once thing I have noticed is that removing ALL of it can sometimes cause my uploaded pictures to be posted upside down or sideways since the data isn’t there to tell the computer which way is up.

Webcam-Archiver is another scraping site that copies public streaming performances and posts them to its own site.
