Until recently I always linked to Photobucket. My pictures there do not have any tags or titles so it is highly unlikely that anyone would find them by searching the internet. It is true though that you could click on an xmarker's photo and be linked to their photobucket account where you could in theory view their other photos if these have not been set as private.
Recently I have had difficulty uploading to Photobucket and have linked to my Flickr account which is a public account, with titles and tags, which anyone can access directly from the internet. Indeed I have included a link to that account in my signature. I do however have some photos on Flickr set as family only which means that only myself and my Canadian cousins who are Flickr members are able to view them. I suspect many of us will have something in our Photobucket or Flickr accounts which, although family friendly, would not be compliant with the xmarks rules, for example photos involving religion, politics and firearms. In my opinion, there would only be a rules violation if you are linking DIRECTLY from here to these photos or encouraging people to go searching for them on your photostream
