Why blame Apple for this?
Would you sue Ford for making a windowless van that makes it so easy to transport kidnapped children?
When you configure the AirTag, there is an alert which explicitly states that using these to stalk people is illegal. If someone does try to smuggle one into you and you have any smartphone, it will let you know you’re being stalked.
I know how much this community looooves to shit on Apple, but this case is completely asinine.
I wonder if Apple could give an option for the anti stalking to android. If they could but they aren't, that could be an argument that they are making stalking easier to promote their ecosystem.
Android can show you alerts even without the Apple app https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562?hl=en
You can get this same functionality with airguard
