A few days ago, an American court accepted a class-action lawsuit filed by a number of affected people once morest the American company Apple, because of one of its products, which they said contributes to espionage and may expose people to danger.
About thirty men and women filed a lawsuit once morest Apple, due to the risks posed by its AirTag product, and said that the company can be legally blamed when the product is used for tracking and misconduct.
“Plaintiffs say that when they were pursued, problems with the AirTag’s safety features were significant, and that those safety defects caused their injuries,” a California judge said.
For its part, Apple stated that it designed the AirTag with “industry-first” safety measures, and should not be held liable when the product is misused.
Of the 30 people, the judge allowed three plaintiffs to pursue their lawsuit, and said: “Apple may ultimately be right that California law does not require it to do more to reduce the ability of stalkers to effectively use AirTag, but that decision cannot be made at this time.” Early stage.
The AirTag product is a small disk that is used by people to track their belongings via phone in the event of loss. Some people place the small disk with a car key or inside a valuable bag.
But this product can be used in an abusive way, as someone may use it to spy, by placing the disc inside another person’s property to stalk him, and possibly harm him.
“At just $29, this product has become the weapon of choice for stalkers and abusers,” the plaintiffs said in the class action complaint.
Apple developed a feature that alerts users when an AirTag device is tracking them, but these and other safety measures are not enough, according to the lawsuit.
