Tell that reassuring piece of information to the dead/raped stalking victims.

The AirTag is the WORST tracker for stalkers. It has the stalkers personal ID embedded in the device, all the tracking data is stored with apple, and it tells the target that it’s tracking them.

It’s like you’re trying to get caught. Meanwhile, there are devices you can buy that are THE SAME PRICE that do none of those things

It is not intended to be a stalking tool. It is great for following my luggage and my friend’s pets and that is the intended use. It was not designed to be a tool for pervs and thieves. That does not stop paranoid folks from imagining that use.

That’s my issue. Stupidity makes any fear possible, then we can’t have nice things

The key word being "Caught". Apple isnt actively monitoring who is using Airtags for what. The clause only comes into effect if it goes to court and Apple is defamed in the process.
