Submission + - Apple facing class-action suit over AirTags (npr.org)
The complaint contends, "[w]hat separates the AirTag from any competitor product is its unparalleled accuracy, ease of use (it fits seamlessly into Apple's existing suite of products), and affordability. With a price point of just $29, it has become the weapon of choice of stalkers and abusers."
Apple stated in February 2022 that, "We have been actively working with law enforcement on all AirTag-related requests we’ve received...
Every AirTag has a unique serial number, and paired AirTags are associated with an Apple ID. Apple can provide the paired account details in response to a subpoena or valid request from law enforcement. We have successfully partnered with them on cases where information we provided has been used to trace an AirTag back to the perpetrator, who was then apprehended and charged."
According to the complaint, neither of the plaintiffs appear to have used this process.
