There's sorta a meta question here. If a product gets released, and some use it for nefairous uses, how much is the company at fault?

Even though airtags are tracking devices, they are legitimately useful.

Kinda reminds me of the NSO situation, where they supposedly only gave access for a specific set of legal reasons. Then the client decided to use it in a nefarious manner anyway.

The manufacturer isn't responsible when a product is misused.

I could buy a 2x4 and smack someone over the head with it. Then they get to sue home depot? No, I should be charged for smacking them over the head.

If the manufacturer becomes responsible for the actions of individuals the economy would immediately cease due to the litigation that would unfold.

What if a manufacturer produces a tool, like a screwdriver that is shaped exactly like brass knuckles? Or some sort of similar extremely obvious dual use widget where the illegal use is readily apparent? I'm arguing that it's not some sort of self-evident truth that manufacturers can't be held responsible, IF the illegal usage is well understood.

Ultimately the courts and police enforce. Many laws aren’t enforced.

So if you think the knuckle shaped screwdriver is actively harming the population, then you can go to court.
