+    <b>Remove metadata from Tor Browser uploads</b>

+    <br>

+    Likely Mentors: <i>Arthur D. Edelstein (arthuredelstein)</i>

+    <p>

+    Tor Browser is a privacy-preserving web browser used by millions of

+    users around the world. We are looking for a programmer fluent in JS

+    and C++ to implement new features to work closely with the Tor Browser

+    team.

+

+    Image files, especially photos taken by smartphones,

+    often carry hidden privacy-violating metadata, typically specified by

+    the EXIF format. Such metadata can include the user's geolocation and

+    various unique identifiers. In order to protect the user's identity,

+    we would like the intern to modify the file-upload feature in Tor

+    Browser such that metadata in image files is automatically removed

+    before the image is uploaded to a server. Ideally, the  summer intern would

+    implement this feature for both desktop and mobile Tor Browser. If

+    there is time, we can envision sanitizing other kinds of uploaded

+    files, including movies, audio, PDFs and Office documents.
