So because they’re cheap and work well it’s apples fault (or samsung or trakr) that people are illegally using them? This type of equipment has existed for decades. Why is it suddenly a companies fault for the illegal activities a minority of users are doing with them? I really hope all these types of cases get tossed.
They’ve existed for a decade, but the tracking networks have been small, so the trackers were pretty unreliable. AirTags are accurate AF because iOS users update aggressively and Apple rolled the tracking software into the OS updates.
All in all, people only care because these things actually work well now.
No one is suing Tile because they suck ass if they’re not close to your phone.
But it is exactly because they’re cheap, widely available and work well. Before AirTags, I’m not sure where you could acquire the technology you mention, but probably through some specialized channel requiring at least some tech knowledge. Also purchasing from that channel would presumably look at least a tiny bit suspect, because you were purchasing spying equipment, not something that is marketed as a way not to lose your luggage
And I get it, I have never tried AirTags but they do sound great for not losing your luggage. It’s just that the illicit way to use them is so evident that it’s like those “face massage” vibrators

Read the fucking article?
Sounds just like the gun debate.
Idk how you got from a tool that helps track your belongings to a tool who’s sole purpose is injuring and killing. Pretty far away from each other
