Your photos might include information of the exact location and time of the photo taken, your photo/camera models etc. Companies, governments, or someone with bad intentions can use such information for their benefits against you. This can easily be accessed by AI as well.
On Windows 11:

Lots of people don’t care, but I guess this could be useful for some of you.
Sure, but let’s say you don’t allow Facebook to track your location. Well, as soon as you upload a photo with location exif data, they know it anyway.
They know the location data in the photo, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s your current location.
Bonus points for faking that data (with, e.g., exiftool).
Yeah that’s true but in this scenario it’s your fault, not theirs.
