First of all, what is this "women" stuff? I'm not a biologist. Second, AirTags don't track people, people do. End of story.
The protections are beyond excessive removing an entire use case for the devices which is far more common by an order of magnitude…theft. If they try to give any more protections the only use of the device will be finding your lost keys in your house.Part of the issue is that they did see the nefarious side of things.
The fact they included protections indicated they knew it could be used for such purposes. The protections are inadequate.
This is not to say I agree. I have plenty of air tags, and I don’t think it’s right to blame apple (they’re doing more than any others). But I don’t think it’s totally clean cut.
Shouldn't people sue knife companies also for these things being used to commit crimes? Using the same logic...!
She should also sue the car/bus company that transported him to the store to buy those evil things.
Every tool can be used for good or for bad.
I SUE THE WORLD~!
Did Apple plant those AirTags? No. Case closed. These women should sue their exes, not the company that made the tracker.
That’s like suing Bic because your handwriting sucks. Case dismissed.
Exactly. This is like suing Alexander Graham Bell because the phone was later used to make anonymous dirty phone calls. This will be tossed.
Correct! Stupid also. Sue lighter and Gasoline makers also for these being used for lighting up forests and properties on fire, car makers for accidents happening with cars, rope makers for ropes being used to strangle people, poison makers for poison being used to poison people, baseball bat makers, chain makers... where do I stop? Pretty much everything you can think of can be used to commit an offense.I know, right? So illogical to sue a company because its product was used in commission of a crime.

Apple has deep pockets, chances are the exes did not.Just gonna go ahead and say it. Why aren’t they going after their ex that “supposedly” stalked them? If she were so afraid of her life she’d contact the police. Innocent until proven guilty. $eem$ fi$hy.
That applied to all weapons too.Shouldn't people sue knife companies also for these things being used to commit crimes? Using the same logic...!
Not just weapons. To pretty much every thing you could think of. Bricks for example are designed to build walls but can also be used to kill someone.That applied to all weapons too.
Almost anything could be used with harmful intentions. Most of us use our cars to commute back and forth to work, however some people have used them to purposely kill people. Doesn’t mean the automakers are at fault.Part of the issue is that they did see the nefarious side of things.

Sadly, Apple failed to see the nefarious side of things - I'm not blaming them but its unfortunate that no one thought of the implications prior to releasing the airtags. I think the overall the steps they undertook mitigate the stalking has helped.
Precisely. You can try to mitigate issues with your products like putting a lock on the knife so it doesn’t accidental open in your pocket and stab you or by putting the little cover over the wheel on a Bic lighter to make it harder for kids to use. Similarly Apple implemented some of their own safe guards with AirTags, but they never once claimed they were impervious to misuse.Every human made tool since the stone age can be misused, without any exception. There is no ifs and no buts. You do not design a Knife that can not be used to stab people same as you don't design a lighter that can not be used to light a forest or house on fire. You do not design a tracking device that can not be used to track people. The whole thing is so stupid.
