Privacy is an important thing, and it’s a right that we all deserve. But in the online age, where everything we do is constantly being monitored, we don’t have a lot of control over that. But what about privacy in our own lives? Apps like Find My Friends and wearable technology like AirTags make us confront these questions head-on all the time. Everyone has different comfort levels of the amount of interference we will allow in our lives. You don’t have to submit to someone else’s just because they’re asking you to. You are allowed to draw your own boundaries and say no to sharing your location.
When doing a favor for a friend by dog-sitting their beloved pup, one woman couldn’t quite expect what she was in for. She quickly learned just how much of a control freak her friend was, and it started to get on her nerves. Then she realized she was being tracked, block by block, every single minute. Then she responded like most people would, but her friend wasn’t done with her.
