Those of you who are married, how do you go about privacy if your wife or husband does not care? (lemm.ee)

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

I'm annoying my girlfriend by installing a dns ad blocker that sometimes interferes with her work, and I have to whitelist things when her work links doesn't work (Microsoft stuff).

It's a bit of an annoyance but I feel strongly about not letting these companies get data about what we are doing.

Just yesterday I installed a kodi plugin (called "up next" ), and turns out it's reporting back what shows I'm watching! The only reason I became aware of this is because it was blocked by the dns ad blocker.

I care about my apps not calling home and reporting what im doing. It should be illegal.

@1984 @MagneticFusion i think the ultimate privacy move is not having a girlfriend or any friends
