How to strip JPEG metadata in Ubuntu

Commented on the post as well.

EXIF isn't the only metadata in jpeg files. IPTC and other forms exist, so if you want to really make them clean make sure you get everything.

exiv2[0] can be used to do that. I have a script I use to remove all metadata from sensitive images I collect for research (UAV aerial photography) before posting).

What metadata is typically found in your sensitive images? What about images in general?

Camera model? Camera serial number? A link to the facebook page of the owner of the camera?

GPS coords where the picture was taken seems likely.

Aren't those stored (only) in EXIF?
