What it would take to fix

A one-API-call fix eliminates all of this. A single POST to Filtrate's /v1/process endpoint strips all EXIF metadata, removes GPS coordinates, recompresses to WebP, and runs an AI compliance check — in under 5 seconds. No new infrastructure, no pipeline rebuild. Drop it into the upload handler before images hit storage and the problem disappears. Vinted's engineers can ship this in an afternoon.
