Two women are suing Apple over its AirTag device, saying former partners used the trackers to stalk them. In the class-action suit, filed in San Francisco, one plaintiff says an AirTag was hidden in her car. In response, Apple has introduced updates since its 2021 release – when AirTags were reported by one outlet as being "stalker-proof." She could only get the device to beep once, before finding it hidden in the wheel well of her car. She then found an AirTag in the child's backpack and got rid of it – before it was replaced with another.

Grace Morris is a 20-year-old bikini barista in Lacey, Washington. That was something that really surprised me about the job: Customers have paid for my groceries, furniture, and even my rent. There's a false perception that being a bikini barista is a "gateway job" into dancing or sex work. Being a bikini barista has given me a kind of confidence that I've never had before. But for now, I'm a bikini barista for the foreseeable future, and I'm perfectly happy about that.

Surveillance proponents will claim this act of violence had nothing to do with Ring and other networked doorbell cameras. But we have to face reality: Blanketing our neighborhoods in surveillance devices that promote a culture of suspicion makes all of us less safe. It even went so far as to launch an actual TV show, “Ring Nation,” on Amazon-owned MGM, featuring viral video from Ring cameras and other surveillance devices.

Phishing and scams could operate differently when augmented reality and virtual reality are involved, Oberoi said. Virtual reality could also facilitate crime in the physical world, Oberoi said. Users may also create virtual worlds with "extremist rules," the report said.
