The more technology we get, the more dystopian we get.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I fail to see how apple is liable ANY for how someone chooses to use these!

[Larry Lucido]

You mean everybody doesn’t tag their wives and girlfriends? I find that the ear lobe is a good location to place them

[DesertRhino]

Well where does your kind of thinking end?
Next thing you are going to start saying Ford isn’t responsible for drunk driving, and that gun makers aren’t responsible for shootings. /s

[DesertRhino]

Better than a teddy bear with a nannycam in it’s eyes...

[Clutch Martin]

One major Solar EMP burst away from the burst of the technology bubble. Inevitably speaking, of course.

[Paladin2]

Better to sue Jao’s NSA.

[for-q-clinton]

I tag AND number them just like my cattle.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Whenever I broke up with a girlfriend, it was my fervent hope to never see them again.

Next thing you are going to start saying Ford isn’t responsible for drunk driving, and that gun makers aren’t responsible for shootings.

Ford and Smith & Wesson, are saying "Welcome to the lawsuit club", but I really do not have any sympathy for Apple.

Ford created cars to make life easier, Smith & Wesson makes a product that provides protection, while Apple created a product to put other lives in jeopardy.

I did hear about a lawsuit involving a gun manufacturer. Precedent

[BipolarBob]

We’ll all die without the internet.

“I fail to see how apple is liable ANY for how someone chooses to use these!”

Just remember the same libtards that run apple think victims of gun violence should be able to sue the manufacturers.

[Gay State Conservative]

Slimy clients...slimy lawyers...deep pockets.

[SaveFerris]

And / or an EMP bomb or 50

Or we just need a pinch!! OTOH, if it had worked on George Clooney...

Apple being sued in class action suit by two women who claim that they were being stalked by use of Apple AirTags so Apple MUST somehow be responsible for illegal use of their products by the stalker and that Apple did not do enough to prevent AirTags from being used to stalk them. The purpose of AirTags is to locate lost or missing items. The use of those devices to follow someone illegally is NOT something Apple is responsible for.

Would this not be similar to holding manufacturers of beer, wine, and spirits responsible for the misuse of their products, McDonalds responsible for the obesity of their customers, gun manufacturer’s responsible for the criminal or accidental acts of the misuse of their products or the accidents and misuse of the products of the automobile and aircraft makers?— Apple PING!

APPLE SPECIOUS CLASS ACTION PING!

“Whenever I broke up with a girlfriend, it was my fervent hope to never see them again.”

If your ‘girlfriend’ identified as ‘them’, you might want to review how you select your ‘girlfriends’.

Ford created cars to make life easier, Smith & Wesson makes a product that provides protection, while Apple created a product to put other lives in jeopardy.

Please elucidate how the millions of Apple AirPods have put even a minority of their buyers or users lives in danger, and how they are not useful for the purpose for which they are sold or intended for use, DallasBiff. I suspect that you cannot. The percentage of such cases as these women are filing suit over is so small as to be microscopic, and your argument you’ve just claimed that “Apple created a product put other lives in jeopardy” that somehow differs from a similar argument that could be applied in a similar vein toward Ford or Smith & Wesson when their products are misused by end users just as Apple’s AirPods were misused by their end users??? Could not a Ford Car or a Smith & Wesson handgun be said to have been created to put other lives in jeopardy???

I put it to you that people LIKE YOU have said exactly that stupid thing you’ve just said about those companies for the exact same reason!

What does that say about YOU, DallasBiff?

I suggest you rethink your argument.
