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 think it's a standard case of people suing the one who has money. Stalkers don't have much (if any) money. Apple has much money. It's a dumb lawsuit IMO, but there's generally no penalty for frivolous or misplaced lawsuits (and this is probably on the border where it's dumb but not frivolous).
Are you serious? My ex brought in a grand on a short week.
