Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

My wife and I have our location shared with each other 24/7. Furthermore, my sister also has mine and my wife has her sister’s. It has nothing to do with trust and everything to do with safety. Perhaps the real lack of trust is not assuming your partner will use your location to control you.

For me, privacy is safety. The thing im most worried about is the government snatching me up in the night.

  Well, seems that having a trusted party with your location would help with that, fellow inhabitant of a fascist regime.

No, that is creepy and you have just normalized it.

Being tracked is control enough for me. But I do understand it in dangerous situations, returning through forest at night etc.

  I don’t see it as being tracked, though. I trust my wife (and my sister) to not be checking it 24/7.
