I won't repeat what I have said in other comments but scroll down for more specific thoughts on the points you make. At a meta-level, we don't think the bad behavior of a very very small number of abusive should degrade the produc

We have a member protection link at the bottom of our page - it is not buried. https://www.life360.com/member-protection-resources/ We encourage people to first go to the police, and we work with law enforcement to hel

We use a third party and they do a liveness scan with a live camera feed so it is not nearly that simple. I'm sure we can come up with edge cases or potential ways people could cheat the system, but we are adding so much risk and frict

Yes, we were sued, but we will fight it and win. I think most people on Hacker News know to approach lawsuits with skepticism. And I feel like many people being critical of us are arguing with emotions and not data. You have to scan a gover

Humans are lazy. The average person who steals a bike is not going to pull out a Bluetooth sniffer. And if they did, they would probably find dozens of nearby devices (try it yourself - I just did and have 53 Bluetooth devices near me). Thi

CEO of Tile/Life360 here - I made a meta comment but I'll call out that because all Life360 users now scan for Tiles, and we are on 1 in 8 phones in the US, our network is actually huge. The small network thing is a misperception.

CEO of Tile / Life360 here. We decided to opt out of the Google and Apple finding networks and the new proposed standards because it completely ruins the ability to use Bluetooth devices to deter theft. If you put an AirTag on say your

I’m about as anti-woke as it gets but I want to give the author credit for a well thought out article. If I discount any writing from “the enemy” I’ll just reinforce my filter bubble. Are there specific things you didn’t agree with here?
