Google's new 'Find My' device network is useful but a stalking risk

Google has introduced a new 'Find My' device network, similar to Apple's, to help locate lost Android devices by using crowdsourced Bluetooth signals. Users can opt out, but the feature is automatically enabled, raising concerns about stalking risks, especially for vulnerable individuals. Privacy experts argue that these networks could be misused for tracking without consent, despite safety measures like pop-up warnings and audible alerts from unknown tracking devices.
