I'm editing this comment to be more of a question. I'd like the understand the reflex to immediately assume this is a lie. The information is readily verifiable as we are a public company and 3rd party sites like data.ai will veri

The entire premise of "found" is a bit nuts as we are a public company and disclosed this regularly and consistently, including how we used the data. The coverage we got in the MarkUp was the most unethical I have seen in my life

Good idea! I just shared this note with our marketing team

That was a vestige of the business well before I was involved. I don't think there was anything nefarious. These are devices that get beaten up quite a bit and the idea was they were cheap enough that it made sense to replace annually

What platform are you on and what models? We in general have stats that show we are the most reliable product from a connectivity standpoint but I know there are still issues. Apologies you are in that bucket.

We are a public company with an audit and risk committee, multiple in-house lawyers, and external counsel. This was heavily discussed. Perhaps a court would limit the fine, but liquidated damages are a commonly used concept, and I don'

It is all about deterrence levels. Thieves aren't completely dumb but they also take the path of least resistance. We are going to do things like rotating MACs that will make it harder for generic apps to be useful and further make thi

We need that for background scanning; Apple just cheats and does the same without really asking. We have never sold Tile user data. We did have a data platform for Life360, which we believe did no harm, but we exited the business as it seem

It’s a terms of service you opt in to. Unclear how well it holds up in court but I dare anyone to try! We will go all out making an example out of people who abuse the system. So far we have not had a single report of misuse of the anti-the

We just launched Tile for cats and you can share your Tile devices and have them appear in Life360 along with your family members. Give it a go! https://www.tile.com/product/tile-for-cats-white

We have updated all models to have either replaceable batteries or a 3-year life. Given how beaten up devices on things like keys get we are getting very good feedback on the 3 year models. We are also giving away free tiles to paid Life360

I'm the CEO of Life360, Tile's parent company. I chimed in on another comment but adding to the conversation directly here. I'm biased, but I am surprised how little pushback this is getting as AirTags explicitly are NOT mean

I'm glad someone brought this up. I'm the CEO of Tile and we launched an anti-theft feature for this reason. We allow you to turn off anti-stalking features if you agree to strict penalties for misuse and verify yourself with a re

I think your thesis about management wanting in-office is accurate, but your rationale for why seems misguided. I'm the CEO of a 500 person company and our lease cost is negligible relative to everything else, and being fully remote me

The ideas are simple and not particularly unique, but sometimes a list of simple but not unique ideas, which many of us already know, but nicely articulated in one place, can spark thought. If I took at as a deep philosophical treatise I mi

Life360 CEO/Cofounder here - it takes a lot of devices. We bought Tile because we could use our 50 million users as finding nodes. It works quite well in urban and suburban areas, but not rural ones

I admit the data is squishy, but we have customer support data, user reviews, and general user feedback that makes me feel very confident extreme misuse is an outlier. I'll admit I was a bit surprised how controlling some parents are,

I wouldn't say we do that much in onboarding, but we do have a resources page specifically for misuse, and we made a feature called Bubbles that allows you to turn off exact location but still keep all safety features active. We also a

Do you have suggestions? I am genuinely open to hearing them. I do, however, push back on the fundamental premise that we facilitate sex trafficking. Both Android and iOS have location sharing built into the OS - I don't think the feat

Of course there are middle grounds, and I think we are already doing these middle ground style actions (see my comment on this same thread). The implication by many of these comments is that we just plain old shouldn't exist, and that

My simplistic answer is, yes, I think we are. Going a bit deeper though, and putting aside the question of prevalence, how would you suggest we solve this problem? -We have actively collaborate with law enforcement (sidebar: we are used to

Yes, I think it does. I’m not sure where the line is drawn but 1/10 is different than 1/100 which is different than 1/10,000,000. If we are extending the sex theme, how often is alcohol used to limber up a young woman to lowe
