Sounds like the victim and perpetrator lived together. What sort of publicity would this story get if she had turned on Find Friends on his phone and shared his location with her?
- swatcoder 4y agoI’m not inclined to do the legwork to prove it, but I’d be shocked if there weren’t stories exactly like this in the first couple years after Find Friends rolled out. It was certainly a concern that people had, and modern news is kinda built to validate concern whenever it can.
- giaour 4y agoDon't users have to opt in to Find Friends? There also feels like a huge difference between your personal device tracking you and that same device tracking anyone who happens to walk by. The dystopian aspect of AirTags is how they repurpose existing Apple devices to create a surveillance network.
- gnicholas 4y agoYeah, but the point is that if they lived together, there's a very good chance that she had the password to his phone, or had access to it when it was unlocked.
- giaour 4y agoHe could always temporarily disable location reporting, turn off his phone, or just not take it with him if he didn't want to be tracked during a certain time. There's no equivalent option with AirTags, since they use ambient devices and can be carried without the bearer's knowledge. I understand what you're trying to argue, but I just don't see an equivalence here in terms of stalker enablement.
