New York Attorney General Issues AirTag Consumer Alert Over Stalking Concerns

It's very important to virtue signal. I'm sure this must be the most pressing problem in NY.

Yup, a distraction over the city going down in pieces.
But Apple also love virtue signaling, so they deserve the hit.

Virtue signaling is about looking good, not doing good. What hit does apple deserve?

I believe this is going to bring stalking and technology into the limelight as people should be worried about the trackers whereby they don’t get notified.

Forget if it alerts you or not. A company made these tags for good use. It’s not their fault if someone chose to use them for bad intentions. If a group of people bought 3 vans to rob a bank, should they not allow dealerships to sell vans anymore?

Exactly are all the AGs going after every manufacturer of every tool that anyone has used for evil??

I buy all my anvils and dynamite exclusively from Acme.

Come on AG, go after Acme and Wile E. now!

It's good to see that the New York Attorney General cares about consumers and is drawing attention to the potential dangers of using AirTags for harassment. As convenient as they may be, it's essential to always consider the potential risks of any new technology.

Nice thread resurrection...
