There's a wonderful way of sharing photos which denies information brokers entirely and is very secure if you make it so. It's called a photo album, the kind you put paper pictures in and give to your friends when you visit them and talk about your vacation.
If this doesn't work for you, think on how much of that is because of the anomie and alienation of modern life. Network effects have arisen in part to counteract this. People demand real-time idea and moment sharing on servers because they do not live anywhere near close to friends or loved ones, and because the individual person is increasingly alienated and alone, demanding instant actions from a virtual network due to the withering of a physical one.
The rediscovery of the physical is the only solution. You buy books from a local bookseller and discuss them in a physical book club. You cannot buy them from Amazon and discuss them via Goodreads without providing information freely in collectable format.
probably too luddite for this place, but information collecting will find a way.
