I already thought of the metadata scraping program as screenshotting, but if Intel is trying to embed processor-specific identification that still doesn’t work.
Phone pics might be it or some form of VPN-like solution for your own hardware.
The article seems to imply any Intel CPU, which a lot of phones have, so that probably wouldn't work. And even then they might not "allow" any images or other files without this identifier.
They are all qualcomm or samsung or other chinese brands, even apple makes their own cpus for their phones now.
This whole thing is a technology nothingburger. As a tech savvy person I wouldn't worry about this at all. I would be more worried about them passing laws to cut off your internet access if you visit unapproved sites or something like that.
Anything they try to add to JPGs will just be worked around in I would guess about a week. It's a very simple file format. You can't suddenly add a bunch of shit into the picture itself or the metadata without someone going SNIP take that shit right out.
Honestly here is what you do if you are worried. Make a badass meme.
Take a picture of meme with phone. Post it.
Or even more likely someone will make a tool that you click run on and it will delete whatever metadata they are trying to hide in the images.

Post them at the library.

Intel cpu's are in about zero percent of phones.
They are all qualcomm or samsung or other chinese brands, even apple makes their own cpus for their phones now.

I don't know why I was thinking my S9 has an Intel chip in it.
