I found this for Facebook:
"When you share a photo on Facebook the EXIF location data is automatically removed from the photo before it's included in the post, which is good news for many adoptive parents."

However, Facebook may use your photo for whatever purpose they wish:
"When you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Service, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings)."

There are ways to remove the metadata in properties, some data would need a software program to remove it. Google: how to strip exif data from images

Wrong. GPS data is (at least to me) a very valuable piece of information. Rather, delete the info from a picture itself before you post it.

I don't have any reason to believe Facebook. Strip all data from all photos before posting to any site, even this one
Are you really in s.e. Arizona? I agree with what you're saying.

If you want to take and post images of children’s genitalia, the GPS coordinates will be quite useful to law enforcement, along with your copyright, IP address and username.

As others say do not put GPS information on your posted photos.
As to downloading, anything posted can be downloaded no matter what you do.

Why would anyone want to post "public photos" such as those in the first place?

Because we live in a new age of sharing. Young folks see nothing wrong with it.

I also found this:
"Let's start with the most popular places to share images on the web. Imgur, Facebook and Instagram all scrub all metadata from photos upon upload. You don't have to worry about leaking metadata when uploading images to these sites."
It's easy to check, upload an image containing the metadata, then download it and see if the metadata exists in the download.

They may scrub all the data but they still have it.

Times have changed. My wife won’t let me take pictures of children. And I do understand why. When I do, I get the permission of the parents first, then if they give me permission, I send them parents the photos. If there is one I want to post, I ask if it’s ok first. I never argue with them. If they say no, I gracefully say I understand and walk away.
Have to be careful these days. The last thing I want to do is offend someone or be inappropriate.
Back in 2000, I took a photo of my own daughter playing in a fountain in South Africa. The image won AOL photo of the year by a long shot. There were some people who thought it was child porn. I did not defend myself, I let the community do it for me. It was obviously not child porn, but some people are just a little crazy.

Some post-processing applications allow you to edit or remove metadata before you export the finished image.
