Apple no, but law makers should require a licence to use those. This is not a tech that anybody should be able to use on a whim. Too much potential for abuses.
Not to mention the more there are, the bigger the cake for a nation that want to get control of the biggest offline spying network of all time. Somebody is going to crack that thing sooner or later. There will be an NSO for airtags.
- nomel 5y agoWhat until you hear about the tracking device that everyone has in their pockets, used by cellular companies, ad companies, and the government!
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoYes, they are a problem too. But, you know they are here. They can be turned off. They require an internet connection. They are not meant for tracking, and intent is important. They provide other features than tracking. They are expensive, and battery don't last. People won't use them to track their ex wife for months. It's like comparing a gun and a knife. Sure, you can kill with a knife, but it's harder, and initially the knife is made for cutting carrots.
