Tile is amazing. But all this AirTag stuff has me worried stalkers will switch to Tile, and then Tile will get ruined the same way.

I wish we had a fully open alternative with the same global tracking network.




Considering Tile's new owners, Life360, aren't above selling subscriber information, they're kind of already ruined.

I mean, I never had any expectation of any privacy at all from tile to begin with, so I'm Not sure I'd say it's ruined.

It's commercial proprietary tech, I definitely wouldn't be using it if I considered my location history sensitive data.
