Calling deleting metadata image processing is a bit of a stretch. And you can disingenuously clean images either client- or server-side, that’s true, but if we’re getting serious here about data privacy, one could independently validate, build, and sign an executable for users to run locally. I don’t know of any similar technique to guarantee what’s running server-side.
I mean, I’d probably do it server-side even if I were to have nefarious intent and want the data for myself anyway, since image processing client-side isn’t necessarily a good use of your users devices, really.

You can strip exit data in less than 1ms on a phone processor in 90 lines of js btw github.com/Coteh/exifremove/blob/…/exifremove.js
You’re delusional if you think FAANGs don’t harvest the shit out of every single but of data they can get on you, including exif.
