Judge Allows AirTag Stalking Lawsuit Against Apple to Proceed

The lawsuit claims AirTags have been misused for stalking, despite Apple's safety measures.

A class-action lawsuit against Apple over the misuse of AirTags for stalking can proceed, as ruled by a judge in San Francisco.
The lawsuit includes claims from over three dozen individuals alleging Apple failed to mitigate the risks of AirTags being used for stalking.
Apple argues that it has implemented safety features to prevent misuse, including alerts and sounds to indicate the presence of an unknown AirTag.
The plaintiffs seek punitive damages, highlighting severe consequences including multiple murders linked to AirTag tracking.
Apple is also collaborating with Google to develop standards for alerting Android users about tracking devices.
