Nothing. I quit making (digital) photography for anything personal, aka memories worth preserving, the day I realized I could no longer trust tech (and the companies behind them, or even our own governments) to respect my privacy. I now only do 'useful' and temporary kind of photos, stuff that have no personal value to me and that I see no interest in backing up.
As for videos, i don't do personal video either and for movies, well, I own the DVDs I purchase. Plus, I have two copies on external drives (not as much as a backup but to make my life simpler ;)
You can just host your own. Like Immich.
I can't trust the operating system running on the phone, even less so as a non-us citizen since US law (android and iOS are US-products) recognize us even less right to any kind of privacy.
I can't trust the network (here in France, my ISP is required by law to record my online activities). Network can be encrypted? OK, but I cannot trust the gov to not make it illegal for the average person to use real encryption (even on one's own hardware) because, you know, 'think of the children', or the evil terrorists.
You literally can keep everything local, encrypted and air-gapped, without it ever seeing outside world.
A law like that would be unenforceable. Nobody knows what's running in your closet save for police raiding your house (at which time they would also gain access to your physical photos)
