What sort of solution would you suggest
> An AirTag that isn't with the person who registered it for an extended period of time will also play a sound when moved so you can find it, even if you don’t use an iOS device.
Maybe they need to give everyone on request a device to detect them, but even then you have to know what Airtags are and know to (and how to) request this device, so it’s still an imperfect solution.
Maybe they ought to do a background check and have Airtags registered to your name, that you’re legally responsible for. This sounds crazy now, but it may be the discussion society is having in 10 or 20 years.
At the least, they shouldn’t release an app to detect these. They should release a white paper so everyone can have their own implementation of Airtag detection.
As for me, I’m fully prepared to see my ass bearing down on a toilet as I’m about to take a shit in a toilet paper advertisement. We need strong privacy laws. Technology has upended everyday life and there’s very little room left for you to not be monitored by stalkers^W marketers^W the rest of the world.
* I’m not saying this is a good idea, but it looks like Remington might legally bear some liability for Sandy Hook.
As for registration, they already are registered to the owner's Apple account. That's how the owner is able to track it and know if it's been found.
