What 'too much' would mean is the question though. Even my original specification of 70 years might, in some cases, be too short a time. Take the holocaust for example: The nazis used privacy sensitive information like notes from jewish church meetings to find people to deport to concentration camps.
So let's say that Apple, on who's servers I store my photographs, may release my images to the public once I die (assuming they can). What if there is some other totalitarian regime by then that will use those images to create a profile of me. They can then use that profile to by extension profile my children or other relatives and use that information to harm them.
So I don't really agree with the no-privacy beyond death story. Since maybe you have to say that the privacy rights of my data will be passed on to my children or others who are still alive that I've had relationships with of any kind.
The images in this article are probably far enough back not to be of much importance though, but maybe my idea to make a bigger study ranging to WWII was maybe a bad one with regards to privacy issues of the people in the pictures and the privacy of their relatives.
