Open the post with the image. Right click on the image and select "Copy Image URL". Go to metapicz.com and paste the URL.
I tried a number of images on Facebook and to my surprise none of them had meta data. I wonder if Facebook actually filters it by default. |

Thank you that was very helpful. Facebook must filter out the info which is not good for me to prove this, I was hoping there was another way.

| If people are using Save for Web, I think the exif is stripped. |

| Facebook strips all the info on images as a matter of practice. Some think this is to reduce the size of what needs to be stored, but I don't buy that. I think it suits them that it's not possible for them to be drawn into the middle of these ownership debates, with the liability that might consequently append to the hosting of said images (how's that for BS "legalese"?) |

I think it goes further than that... I think that if it is stripped, they feel they are free to re-use in any way they see fit. In fact, doesn't their terms of use state that they can re-use?

| FB does indeed strip metadata from images. I agree with all of the reasons mention above. In addition, my iPhone (and many smart phones) record GPS data. There was concern about security of homes when photos were uploaded. Probably a good idea to remove longitude and latitude from Internet images. |

Yes they can re-use, unless you customize your privacy settings. |

| They pass the GPS exif data directly to the NSA for uploading to their drone navigation systems. |

Which they're sharing with Russian Monitoring Stations! |
