[ICYMI] AirTag harassment victims unconvinced by Apple's fixes
Manufacturer Apple now finds itself the subject of anger -- and lawsuits -- from Americans who have been harassed with the help of the brand's product.
That's what happened to singer Alison Carney in June 2022, when she found an unknown AirTag in her bag while preparing to go on stage at a concert venue in Chicago. "It just became obvious once we found the AirTag that... I wasn't crazy," Carney, who lives in Washington, told AFP."I know that someone's tracking .""I know that someone has the ability to put a device on my body or on my property that can track me for the rest of my life, and they're getting smaller and smaller and smaller and harder to detect.
Police in the town of Irving, Texas, are also looking into several recent incidents involving Apple AirTags in which the victim and the stalker already knew each other, said police spokesman Robert Reeves. When asked about the situation, Apple sent AFP a statement published last year, in which the tech giant condemns"in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products."
