Hey guys and girls too! This is a PSA if you are a vendor.. (I thought everyone already knew this.. but many new and old vendors still do not know this.)
CLEAR YOUR EXIF DATA ON THE PICTURES YOU TAKE!
I made this throw away account, for obvious reasons.. But while I was browsing vendors on EVO market I noticed a unfortunate trend.
MANY vendors had exif data still in their pics. Most of these vendors had only device information, shutter speed, etc.. Which is still something that can be used as evidence against you if that device is seized. (Not a really likely case, but still why put that out there.)
BUT.. I FOUND A FEW VENDORS.. WITH GPS.. GPS FUCKING INFO. IN THEIR PICTURES!
PLEASE DO NOT USE SMARTPHONES TO TAKE PICTURES OF DRUGS..
Please. Do not use smartphones, Or ANY device that has GPS or internet connectivity. Please clear that information before uploading pictures.. I can NOT stress this enough.. First off your safety is most important as a vendor, but so is the customers safety.. Use a third-party app if need be.
I have informed the admins of EVO, and the respective vendors so they can correct this information.
I thought i would just post this so people are in the know. (most them did not even know that info was there)
Your neighbourhood friendly DNM friend :)
