Back in 2014 there was a discussion about the EXIF “leaking” location being a privacy concern. AFAIK, the decision was to remove _all_ EXIF data

[Remove location EXIF data from uploaded photos](https://meta.discourse.org/t/remove-location-exif-data-from-uploaded-photos/19226)

There was somewhat more recent discussion about adding EXIF data but l don’t know if anyone has done any work in that direction
