OFC you can use an #AirTag (or multiples!) to #stalk people, and whilst it's illegal (and I I'll condine it regardless of legality!) it's now even more rampant than pickpockets!...

You know how many of those #stalking devices I've microwaved already when someone asked me to check their stuff for #trackers?

• I'd say it's a low-to-mid double-digit number, because by the time #police gets their hands on those as evidence, they got remote-wiped and even if they didn't the buyers obviously didn't link them to any #Apple - Account with real credentials...
  • Worst-case they abuse some homeless person as "#MeatProxy" to get blamed and as soon as that one's getting caught, they're already gone...

#Stalking is a Problem and #AirTags are #IoT - style, physical #StalkerWare that's rampant in the wild, as they are not just a #COTS product, but cheap, common and even #TechIlliterate assholes can use them.

• No need to use shady Stalkerware sites and -Apps like the ones @[email protected] / @maia investigated in her #fuckStalkerware series...
  • Every asshole with enough cash or a credit card can get their hands on these and doesn't even need to know how to #DIY stuff!

who is paying for these “age verification” laws? we need to find the names of the fascists flooding the zone with these proposals. wouldn’t shock me if all roads lead to Palantir and Gay Hitler.

❝ Google didn’t immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press about how the footage of the masked person was captured while the camera was apparently disconnected. They also didn’t clarify how the footage was extracted from “backend servers” even though law enforcement said Guthrie didn’t have a subscription.

However, Google’s privacy policy… makes it clear that videos can be captured when a device is offline. ❞
