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

even if you are someone who subscribes to the mindset "nothing to hire, nothing to fear", kids can't make that decision yet, themselves so I've always found it nice when people don't include their kids on socials until they're at least a teenager or so, granted I don't have kids, this is just from a bystanders pov.

family vlog channels back in the day always left a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah that's how I feel about ads targeting children (even when the products are intended for children): they are not yet equipped to look at the ads critically and recognize when they're being manipulated.
