For example: most digital photos contain metadata that could potentially be used to tie your nsfw endeavors to your normie-world identity, sometimes with dire consequences.
Many platforms (e.g. mastodon) will normalize uploaded photos, stripping all such metadata in the process. However, others (e.g. manyvids) do not normalize all media, instead offering to customers the exact files you upload, metadata fully intact.
Manyvids is shall we say less than ideal in this regard. For photo sets, the only option they give you is to create a zip file containing the photos on your own computer and upload it to them.
Guess what! Zip files contain their own set of metadata, that once again could potentially be used against you.
I have some experience in tech. I'm happy to answer any #OpSec questions from #SexWorkers unsure about how to remain anonymous (or pseudonymous) online.
