I get the filters, but why the second screenshot? Aren't you just adding more hypothetical tracking pixels with that step?

So that the final screenshot is from outside the app being screenshotted, and as a bonus you get another round of JPEG obfuscation.
Screenshots are PNGs.
Write a tool that replaces the least significant bit of each pixel with a random value. Compress the result with 80% quality. Compress the result with 79% quality. Make sure to strip exif info, and all other metadata. Enjoy the result.
