Explanation
Android smartphones use Google services for auto-sync, including Google Photos, which can automatically upload and - depending on settings - share photos to a publicly accessible or semi-public album. If vacation photos appeared on local news, the most likely cause is that Google Sync (or Google Photos auto-backup) uploaded the images with public or discoverable sharing settings. iCloud and iTunes are Apple ecosystem services unavailable on Android. OneDrive is Microsoft's service and is not the default sync provider on Android. Changing Google Sync privacy settings or disabling auto-backup would remediate the exposure.
