Unfortunately, these are conflicting goals. It is not enough not to tag photos.
For example, if you use Gmail, they have your address book, hence they have names and emails of other people.
Or, if you publish photos of a group of people, and Google/FB/etc. have working face recognition, they know these people are connected with you (and with each other), and at which time and location you all came together.
But imagine they don't even get that from you. If they know private information from yourself, you are training their system to extract that information from others, too. For example, if you are homosexual then you tech them how to recognize homosexuals. If you are heterosexuals, you teach them how to better distinguish homosexuals from heterosexuals. Same for other types of private information.
It is impossible to show everything from oneself, and at the same time respect the privacy of vulnerable people nearby oneself.
