    You’re so right! I use a VPN, Linux adblockers as much as possible and various other privacy focused technologies and my partner just thinks I’m paranoid.

    They love that their instagram algorithm can serve them highly personalised clothing ads 😆

      This is me, too. Also, not bothered that their instagram algorithm can serve them highly personalized political propaganda just as easily. At least not bothered enough to leave.

      Sometimes I wonder if I fail my spouse with not convincing her to privacy, or I let her make her own decisions

        I have this issue. I have also explained that everyone she communicates with didn’t consent to having their communications intercepted by other parties.

        I’d argue if you took the step of explaining some privacy concerns with her existing internet activity with her, and after that conversation, they decided against taking precautions, it’s just their decision to partake in the system.

        With that being said, you should take precautions for your own personal devices and things such as appliances/IOT if you are privacy conscious and want to protect the household from leaks.
