Il libro nasce da una duplice presa d’atto: la prima riguarda la 
dipendenza delle odierne società umane dalle *tecnologie 
dell’informazione e della comunicazione (ICT)*, alla luce della 
progressiva convergenza tra *big data, intelligenza artificiale e 
piattaforme digitali*. La seconda concerne il progressivo riallineamento 
del diritto come questione di accesso, controllo e tutela su flussi di 
dati e informazioni nelle società ICT-dipendenti.


L’intento è di chiarire l’odierno stato dell’arte su quanto spesso è 
riassunto come *“rivoluzione digitale”*, prestando attenzione ai 
problemi connessi al *governo delle nuove tecnologie* e la *politica dei 
dati*. Da un lato l’attenzione si dirige verso i rapporti del diritto 
con altri sistemi regolativi come l’etica, l’economia, la tecnologia o 
le norme sociali; dall’altro, occorre fare i conti con i problemi aperti 
in settori cruciali del diritto, quali le *garanzie nel processo penale* 
e la *protezione dei dati personali*, la *proprietà intellettuale*, i 
*contratti* o il *diritto alla salute*.

[nexa] ‘I didn’t want it anywhere near me’: how the Apple AirTag became a gift to stalkers | Apple | The Guardian

2022-09-05 Thread Alberto Cammozzo via nexa


n March this year, Laura (not her real name) was in her car when a notification 
showed up on her phone, alerting her that an Apple AirTag had been detected 
nearby. “I didn’t know what it was or what it meant. I felt quite panicky,” she 
says. “I pulled over and still didn’t know what I was looking at. My phone was 
showing a map of where I was with a trail of red dots indicating the route I’d 
just followed. I think I was in shock. I drove straight to a friend’s house and 
we searched the car.”

They emptied the glove compartment, opened the bonnet, checked underneath it 
and then behind the number plate. “Eventually we found it under the carpet in 
the back – a tiny gadget the size of a 10-pence piece. I didn’t want it 
anywhere near me.”

To Laura, it was obvious how it got there. She had recently separated from her 
partner, but he had spent the previous day with their young son – and had 
transferred his child seat from his car to the back seat of Laura’s when he had 
dropped him back. 

The AirTag was launched in April last year – a wireless, Bluetooth device 
designed to keep track of items such as keys, purses, cars or anything else at 
risk of being lost or stolen. But it has also been a gift to stalkers. “We’re 
finding it’s quite an issue,” says Violet Alvarez from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, 
which supports stalking victims. “It’s so small, it’s unnoticeable and very 
user-friendly. It doesn’t require any technical skill whatsoever and it is 
relatively cheap to buy [from £29].”

AirTags are also widely available. While a mind-boggling range of spyware is 
available on eBay or Amazon, the Apple brand is ubiquitous, part of everyday 
life. “I saw AirTags for sale in my local supermarket,” says Emma Pickering, 
senior operations manager for tech abuse at the domestic abuse charity Refuge. 
“People see them, think about tracking more, and the concept of tracking 
becomes more established. We’re normalising it.”

Both Refuge and the Suzy Lamplugh Trust have been contacted by women like 
Laura, who have received AirTag notifications on their phones. Some went on to 
find the devices planted in children’s backpacks by ex-partners. Others had 
been slipped into the women’s pockets or handbags. In one case, the AirTag 
couldn’t be located at all. The Refuge team talked the caller through how to 
disable it, but she still doesn’t know where it is hidden.


This month at Swansea crown court, Christopher Paul Trotman, 41, pleaded guilty 
to stalking his ex-girlfriend by gluing an AirTag under her car bumper. 
Although she had received notifications about the device on her phone, she had 
no idea what they meant and initially ignored them. It was only when her 
daughter also began getting notifications that the tag was found.

In most cases seen by Refuge and the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, the victims have a 
clear idea of who planted the device – usually current or former partners – but 
this is not always the case.

In June, the Irish actor Hannah Rose May tweeted a warning after an AirTag was 
planted on her person during an after-hours event at Disneyland, California. 
She was in the car park at 2am, about to drive home, when she received a 
notification that someone had been tracking her for two hours. Sports 
Illustrated model Brook Nader shared a similar experience on Instagram. Someone 
slipped an AirTag into her coat pocket when she was in a New York restaurant. 
Four hours later, in what she described as “the scariest moment ever”, Nader 
was walking home alone when she received a notification that she was being 
tracked.

Apple has stressed that the company takes the issue of stalking very seriously, 
which is why it designed the alert system that appears on your iPhone if an 
AirTag not registered to you is seen moving with you over time. It adds that it 
works with police when there have been incidents, and stresses that misuse of 
AirTags is rare.

That alert system only works if the stalking victim has an iPhone, however. So 
in December 2021, eight months after AirTags were launched, Apple released 
Tracker Detect, an app that will alert you on an Android device – so long as 
you’re sufficiently informed and far-sighted to install the app and keep it 
active.

The AirTag also emits a warning chime after a while to alert anyone close by of 
its presence. Initially the chime sounded after three days, but subsequently 
this was shortened to a random time between eight and 24 hours. Apple has been 
working to make the chime louder – it can be especially difficult to hear on a 
busy street or when hidden under a car – and to make the AirTag easier to find 
after you have received an alert.

The approach is: ‘Launch it, monetise it and we can solve problems later. That 
doesn’t happen in any other industry
