I think we need to change the metric. Every tool humans have ever invented can be used maliciously. So we have fallback options, like punishment, to mitigate that. Apple needs to make you read and acknowledge a notice when you get an AirTag that says quite clearly that they know the serial number and will happily provide your contact info to authorities on request. And then police need to actually arrest people for misusing tags to stalk.
- howinteresting 5y agoWhy should the public bear the costs of a $2 trillion dollar company's decisions? Why should overpoliced communities be subject to even more policing? The solution here is to restrict airtags to finding your own stuff only. That takes away some of the utility but also all of the stalking risk.
