@Rudi - can there not be some kind of actual privacy threat? I encountered some posts (elsewhere) written by a guy who was doing a post doc. He was critical of someone's work - the same person to whom he is now applying for a faculty position.
Ignoring the fact that kind of criticism is not always okay to start with, we did edit out some few lines of two posts.
This kind of thing happens because moderators cannot read everything problematic that gets posted here, unless we are notified of a problem.
So, we can end up in a position like that. I'm not sure that type of thing is directly privacy related.

NAME
MAT - Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit
SYNOPSIS
mat [options] files
mat-gui
DESCRIPTION
The Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit is a lib (with a CLI and a GUI) created to anonymise file's metadata. In essence, metadata answer who,
what, when, where, why, and how about every face of the data that are being documented. They can be a risk for privacy.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-a, --add2archive
Add to outputed archive non-supported filetypes
-b, --backup
Keep a backup copy
-c, --check
Check if a file is free of harmful metadatas
-d, --display
List all the harmful meta of a file without removing them
-f, --force
Don't check if files are clean before cleaning
-l, --list
List all supported fileformat
-v, --version
Display version and exit
EXAMPLES
mat --display mydocument.pdf
Display the mydocument.pdf's harmful metadata
mat --check *.jpg
Check all the jpg images from the current folder
NOTES
MAT only process metadata, it does not handle file data. Blame yourself if you are traced back because of the data of your files. MAT is
not perfect : In most of the cases, a forensic expert with a lot of time can trace back your document. If you want absolute privacy, use
plain-text.
