> It is seen as more and more normal to track one’s partner through Find My iPhone or an AirTag, even though the potential for abuse of this technology is staggering and obvious. There are all kinds of new products, such as a biometric ring that is allegedly able to tell you whether your partner is cheating, that expand this capability into more and more granular settings. These criticisms seem to be more a reflection of the author's paranoia and sex-obsession than legitimate criticisms of the tools and technologies. IMO, location sharing is pretty awesome among loved ones, and biometrics can help us manage our health? But I guess everything has to be about "sexual surveillance"... | ||

Location sharing is extremely divisive. Loved ones need privacy too, in my eyes. But we are also clearly in time where that kind of tech can save their lives so I don't want to dismiss it all as goverment surveillance. But my parent use it, so it's clear it depends on the couple. | ||
