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

You know I don't actually mind sharing pretty much all my info if it's for the right reasons, as I have a deep trust in people in general, and only a few are authentic asshats in my experience.

The thing is that I also value my freedom and I don't appreciate people not genuinely asking for my consent to share. At the end of the day it is my data and I decide what will happen to it.

So sure, I am being tracked all over the place and there's no stopping it, but for me it's more a matter of integrity to express my desire for consent. In other words it's not necessarily effective, but it's the intent and expression that counts for me.
