  You can do the same thing with any other tracker, like Tile. Suddenly these things become a Huge Problem when Apple does it :)

    I think it's absolutely fair to hold Apple to a higher standard here because of their reach. AirTags being an Apple product has made them much more popular than Tile, meaning any odd person will know about them. That makes it more likely that technically non-sophisticated people try to use them for malicious purposes. Plus, the FindMy network is much larger in certain parts of the world, and some people might not even know they're helping track AirTags that are being used for malicious purposes. There's so much more potential for abuse now than there was before.

      People are somehow expecting all nefarious people to be some kind of tech savvy geniuses who will order dozens of AirTags, disable the speakers and hide them everywhere just to track people they're stalking. If they really want to do it, there are a bunch of better ways to achieve the same goal. Also, Apple can adjust the amount of time before a lost tag starts beeping remotely.
