</div>IMHO the default should be "privacy first". Probably everyone of us has laughed<br>
about someone who accidentially published either metadata or deleted text<br>
(remember MS Word document history or something)? I'm absolutely fine if you<br>
want this that you do this. But most people will not be aware of it, even less<br>
of the implications. So it should be deactivated by default and only activated<br>
explicitely.<br>
