A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I think the concept is inherently not very privacy friendly.
I mean think about it, basically your AirTag sends some sort of identifier to all nearby devices and also sends along some sort of information how to contact you, the owner, either one the device can see directly or it has to send all of them to a central location and that location needs to know both the location of your tag and your identity to forward that information to you.
I believe you will be better served with a dedicated GPS tracker on those situations.
