I was more looking for social media rather than a private cloud image storage, I’ll probably still go ahead with using Pixelfed. I was just hoping it wouldn’t be possible for the host, to take everyone’s private photos and dump them online if they wanted to.

I guess Instagrams level of privacy would be similar and employees at Meta would be able to look at people’s private photos too.

Thanks for the response, that definitely clears things up!

I would also add:

Data gathered from the raid can be used to investigate and prosecute crimes unrelated to the original seizure.

Mastodon does not currently encrypt direct messages.
