Images taken on people's phones can sometimes contain sensitive metadata that users might not immediately realize is present, such as GPS coordinates of their current location. iamb should probably default to stripping location and any other PII before uploading an image, just in case. This should help protect someone trying to share a photo they took with a Matrix room from accidentally giving away private info.
