Linked bans pretty much only happen if you use the same recovery phone number or email address.

Other ways of linking an account, such as having both logged in on the same phone, don't put you at risk.

Yeah they do. There's an entire mesh of metrics that are used to calculate your relation to separate accounts.

It's the confidence tolerance that keeps you and your partner from getting banned together.

    Thanks for that bit of info, the degree of disgusting that google would be tracking who people's partners are is off the scale invasive and should be a reason for an immediate complaint to the various data privacy authorities.
