Our work aims to raise public awareness of privacy risks resulting from sharing photos online and subsequent photo handling conducted by contemporary media sites. The metadata contained in digital photos could pose significant privacy threats to their owners. Once published online, a photo could disclose much more information beyond what is visually depicted in the photo and what the owner expects to share. A digital photo usually contains much information in its metadata. With the rising popularity of cameras and people's increasing desire to share photos, an overwhelming number of photos have been posted all over the Web.
