What it would take to fix

One API call closes the gap. Filtrate's /v1/process strips all EXIF metadata, removes GPS coordinates, converts to WebP, and returns a compliance verdict. At Grailed's scale the fix is a single middleware insertion in the upload pipeline — images go through /v1/process before they reach the CDN. GPS leak drops to zero, EXIF retention drops to zero, and modern format adoption goes to 100%.
