Epic Games' Tim Sweeney Slams Apple's 'Find My' Anti-Theft Feature, Calls It 'Super Creepy Surveillance Tech' That Should Not Exist - Benzinga

Quick Summary:

Despite criticism from other X users who pointed out that Find My is a tracker for his computer, not surveillance of the thief, Sweeney insisted that tracking a device in someone’s possession equates to tracking the person, thereby violating their privacy.

Sweeney claimed that the service, designed to help users locate their lost or stolen devices, infringes on the privacy of the person who stole his MacBook.

After using the Find My service to locate his stolen MacBook, Sweeney was taken aback when the service revealed the thief’s residence.
