"The new Find My feature will broadcast Bluetooth signals from Apple devices even when they're offline, allowing nearby Apple devices to relay their location to the cloud. That should help you locate your stolen laptop even when it's sleeping in a thief's bag."

That one time we abused a feature to spy on hundreds of thousands of people and apple refused to acknowledge it as a privacy flaw. Oh I'm sure this has been well designed #snoopy https://t.co/v4PdO1C50V
