[REQ] Exif data for images

Seeing majority of posted images are taking number of pages to try and debunk or prove, is there the possibility that the admins/owners can make it that the exif data of photos are extracted and posted with pic ? or something along the lines ? If the poster is legit one way this data can allow us to scrutinise the image better.

Cheers

Yeah, let's see have that iphone exif data. Then we can find out where the poster took the picture from. And stuff.

EXIF data can have some value, however, it can be faked so it doesn't necessarily prove anything.

I know it can be faked, but seriously, unless you are another photographer and know what settings would've been used, which will be able to be debunked you wouldnt be bothered.

eg:
1/300 sec
@ f/2.8
200mm

or
1/50th
@ f/18
200mm

both will give off same light of a still object and look the same but
f/2.8 will have a shallow DoF

Re responsibility of poster, it's surely only a few lines of code included to have this
