I have always been curious about this. Did you get them to use other services or did they stubbornly refuse and you just accepted it? I am talking using Chrome, using Windows, using social media like Tiktok or Facebook or Instagram, etc. Bonus points if you have kids because that is even more work in the privacy realm

    You can but there’s a point where the SO’s actions actively invade your privacy too against your will.

    Real example: My SO uploads all her photos to Google Photos. Because I also appear on those Photos, I am now being tracked/used for training ML models/instrumentalised/whatever other evil things Google does nowadays against my will.

    Google doesn’t care whether I consented to that or not.

      True. And you can talk to your wife about that. But unless you provide a better alternative it’s going to harm her personal workflow. And this goes for your friends, strangers in public, anytime of photos taken that you happen to be around for.

      I think the reasonable measure is to concede this point. Your friends are going to be social media users
