Pictures taken and sent, say by phone, contain data that can be linked to that specific user/his or her phone.
Printers also have a type of unique ID system, so if you were to print out a bunch of pro-White posters they can link it straight to your printer.
Then of course there's the general problems of posting any non-general personal details, pictures being among the worst. A photo of a dog? While dogs can and sometimes do look awfully similar, there's always a chance of our friend blumen coming across a hostile that has scoured this site, recognizes the dog, puts two and two together, and now somebody has a pretty major problem.
There are easy ways to strip EXIF data, one such being not allowing it stored in the image to begin with. Even modern "smart" phones have an option for it. You just may have to dig for it in your camera app's settings. Then there are image hosting sites which will strip it for you if you're so lazy as to not adjust your phone's camera settings before using it.
As for someone recognizing the dog, give me a fucking break. We don't have dog facial recognition software yet. Hell, that might be the next VC-funded Silicon Valley entrepreneurial idea, but it's not there yet. They have a hard enough time making software that can recognize if there's a dog in the photo.

But one may forget.

Ah yes, just like turning off GPS tracking and positioning, right? Funny.

That's what is claimed.

No, no breaks. One crack in the dam and it all falls apart.

Irrelevant.
You just sound paranoid, man. Does being known really scare you so much, and if so, why?
This wasn't a problem before. Being known could've lost you your job a hundred plus years ago.
