Family photo sharing? (lemmy.world)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My son was just born, and while a few photos will go on the likes of Facebook and Instagram, overall my partner and I are wanting to keep our shared photos private from the EULA abuses that we all know and hate.

Does anyone here have any good suggestions? I would create my own front end, but I can't swing hosting or a static IP to do it from my local box. Are there any companies out there who aren't total shit bags who claim immediate irrevocable license to all of my photos to do with whatever the fuck they please?

Photo development booths, printing centres and later phone repair shops (before phones regularly got encrypted) used to be the number one avenue for getting photos leaked.

As true as that is, we're talking about photos of a newborn infant. Like for real, who would intentionally leak photos of a newborn?

Oh yeah, that's right, artificial intelligence!

Don't feed the online machine, take the photos into a print shop via USB flash drive, and I'm pretty sure anyone with a soul will have respect for family privacy.

Not so with online cloud services though ☹️
