GPS and VHF trackers have been used to stalk people for way longer than AirTags and have zero safeguarding features. And Tile, at least last time I used one, had zero safeguarding features and are pretty just exactly the same product as AirTags.
This all seems a bit frivolous. Are gun makers responsible when their products are misused to murder? Or knife makers?
Seems funny that Apple are the ones getting sued and not the tools of destruction used to end life. It’s like suing the car manufacturer of the car the murderer used to get to the scene.
It's not really misuse, the intended purpose of a gun is to kill someone/something, that's literally what they are made for.
Kinda similar to AirTags but with tracking things.
