exiftool -r -ext jpg -ext jpeg -if '$gpslatitude' -p '$directory/$filename' /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads 2>/dev/null

Checks every JPEG for a GPS latitude and prints only the paths of the matches. Smartphone photos often contain the exact location, which is a privacy problem for photos of homes or employees. The files found can then be cleaned up selectively.

Note: Package libimage-exiftool-perl. At the end, exiftool reports the number of files that did not meet the condition.
