its not surprising but this also looks like its using proper metadata so its somewhat overt by fb standards

im more surprised that facebook strips the original metadata, but thats probably more for file size and, ironically, privacy wrt embedded geolocation tags and gps information

it’s partly for EXIF privacy (which is why those fields aren’t on the whitelist) and mostly because it goes through a transcoding process that ensures it’s in a normalized format so the edge can transform it to the various forms and reduce the risk of a decoder/encoder security problem

the file size consequences are pretty much irrelevant
