I dont get why this is really an issue when there are devices on Temu you can easily buy that are actually designed for stalking. Why would anybody with a genuine nefarious purpose spend their time hacking a tile when they can just buy a generic Chinese gps transponder?

Does anyone know whether <a href="https://mygrid.app/" rel="nofollow">https://mygrid.app/</a> is trustworthy? Development had been glacial, but looking at their website it seems they finally support degoogled android which is a huge step forwards.

This explains why I'm seeing commercials for Life360 now for the first time ever: They've developed a new revenue stream by selling everybody's location to advertisers.<p>Now deleted from my family's phones.

"But, but, the Tile TOS says they'll fine a stalker a million dollars!"<p>Life360 is such a skeevy bullshit company.
