    It’s an interesting question. How much focus should be on apple for providing a technology with a valid use case, as opposed to the systemic issue of the authorities ignoring stalkers and harassers?

    Keep in mind that each airtag has a direct link to the identity of the stalker themself. It would take near zero effort for the authorities to actually prosecute these assholes. Instead, the cases are ignored and the stalkers emboldened, until the victims have to seek refuge in any way they can.

      What, you actually expect cops to… *reads quote under painted seal on the side of the police cruiser

      …“protect and serve?” What are you, crazy? They’ve got their pension to worry about!

        The neat part of the trick is that the quote never says who specifically gets protection and service.

          The Decepticons were actually the good guys, and chose the slogan they thought would allow them to blend in.
