There appears to be a part of the Shotwell program called Shotwell
Connect. It seems that this program only connects to Facebook/Google
when a user authenticates themselves. The privacy policies and
descriptions of functionality are available here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell/YoutubePrivacyPolicy
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell/FacebookPrivacyPolicy
http://shotwell-project.org/doc/html/share-upload.html

The communication with privacy-disrespecting services is limited to
plugins, which can be disabled at the user's option.
