Hooray! Keep your grubby, filthy hands off of my private data, you invasive ad-industry leeches! Instead, create ad campaigns and sell ads the way it had been done for eons. Hasn’t Zuckerberg ever watched Mad Men?!

Although this may not be what Apple recommends, this is the way most people WANT to use their AirTag trackers - to track pets, prevent theft, and to aid in the recovery of stolen items.

Ditto. Already have one on my own bike.

I have one installed on my bicycle using a hidden mount. I also performed surgery on that AirTag to remove its speaker. I don’t want any sound to tip off a thief that there is a tracker on my bicycle.

At least he contacted the police to do the tracking. Some would try to do it themselves and could find themselves in imminent physical danger. Maybe that’s why Apple doesn’t recommend this.

However, “Imminent physical danger” would not pertain to pet tracking, another AirTag use of which Apple does not approve.
