Not sure why the derision is necessary. That's been a constant topic of discussion ever since AirTags released because it's a real concern that has multiple examples and has informed the design of the exact feature that the posted article is about.
- tinus_hn 4y agoNothing is necessary of course, it’s just to counterbalance the ‘hurr durr Apple bad’ crowd which seamlessly gaslights between ‘AirTags are terrible stalking devices and Apple is responsible for all stalkers and stalking wouldn’t be possible were it not for the terror of the AirTag’ and ‘I don’t care about privacy and why is Apple giving these stupid notifications to counter stalker use of AirTags.’ There’s tons of tracking devices on the market and Apple made choices to make the use of AirTags private and with a certain level of protection against stalker use. It’s known before you purchase them, if you don’t like it, don’t purchase them.
