Apple AirTags stalking led to ruin and murders, lawsuit says — Dozens join lawsuit alleging Apple AirTags are stalkers’ “weapon of choice.”::Dozens join lawsuit alleging Apple AirTags are stalkers’ “weapon of choice.”
Both android and iPhones get alerted to AirTags that follow them and I’ve seen it work extremely well. It even gives the option to play sounds from the AirTags or disable them entirely.
What am I not understanding that makes AirTags the “weapon of choice” for stalkers?
The article has a report from at least one person claiming they can’t find the airtag even with the alerts.
There’s also videos on YouTube that show you how to remove the speaker so without the UWB chip, I could see scenarios where people genuinely can’t find them.
I’m not making the argument either way, just saying that a problem is there. Whether it’s Apple’s responsibility or not is up to the court
Don’t you have to provide some personal data to use an AirTag? Like Apple ID, which would include some location data or IP addresses? If so, then I imagine you also can be found by law enforcement if someone find an AirTag on them.
Why would anyone use an AirTag for stalking given that it could be traced back to you?
I reccon you dont leave it on the body after completing the murder
Well, given that the AirTag will alert stalking victims of its presence there is a high chance the person finds it.
yeah, but: spoiler alert:
apple isn’t as private as they’d like you to believe
Apple is still able to find out that a AirTag has tracked that phone and who this AirTag belonged to
My friend was stalked for months via their airpods, which had been secretly paired with the stalker’s account.
How many fucking stalkers are out there? Is this like pokeman go?
