    Don’t you have to provide some personal data to use an AirTag? Like Apple ID, which would include some location data or IP addresses? If so, then I imagine you also can be found by law enforcement if someone find an AirTag on them.

    Why would anyone use an AirTag for stalking given that it could be traced back to you?

        Well, given that the AirTag will alert stalking victims of its presence there is a high chance the person finds it.

        yeah, but: spoiler alert:

        apple isn’t as private as they’d like you to believe

        Apple is still able to find out that a AirTag has tracked that phone and who this AirTag belonged to
