Pattern
Privacy choices drift as products add features, change policies, and introduce new defaults.
Practice
Revisit privacy controls on important accounts and devices at a regular interval, especially after major product changes.
Start small
Review the privacy settings of one service you use often.
Watch out
Settings can reduce exposure without fixing a product whose business model or technical design remains incompatible with your needs.
