And yet Apple sell tracking devices that can be used to spy on people who've never used an Apple product.
Are they blind to the harm they're causing, or do they believe that only their own customers deserve to have privacy?
- micromacrofoot 5y agothey thought they were ahead of the game by adding the anti-stalk features at all, because no one in the tracker industry does it… but it ended up causing the streisand effect
- drdaeman 5y agoOne can also use Airpods with ear sensing disabled to spy/listen for private conversations on people (within Bluetooth range), even people who have never used an Apple product. And, you know, some MacBooks are heavy enough to be able to cause physical harm if you'd hit someone on the head. The wonders of humanity is that humans are creative and imaginative (not me, the examples I thought of are stupid and silly), so if they have a certain task in mind they can solve it through whatever technologies available, even if those technologies weren't designed for it...

- Jcowell 5y agoI’m not sure what OP is talking about but one can use their iPhone with the Live listen feature & AirPods to listen in to conversations. But you can just as easily leave your phone and record and listen later.
- drdaeman 5y agoYes, that's what I meant, thank you - putting an Airpod in next room to eavesdrop. Airpods are pretty small, must be much easier to sneak them in compared to a phone. And unlike a phone, they're not providing any means to figure out who is the owner.
