I think this reverse tracking would also raise concerns

- keys with airtag attached are lost, thief (perhaps opportunist) can find the home/car they belong to

- stalker types can steal an airtag from a water bottle, handbag, or whatever, and find the owner's home

Not an iPhone user but AFAIK the lost phone scenario was already covered with even pre-airtag "Find my..." since you could log into iCloud web interface on any other device and use that

Time spent tethered to the computer or in the office looking busy isn't as valuable as real free time though, assuming this fully efficient job market a given dev might take $300 for real work + busywork or $250 for just the actual work

I think the idea is that ads slip in more easily with an algorithm. Last time I used FB properly you could get the following kind of news feed:

actual post from friend, friend actively liked a post from a business, ad from a business a friend previously liked

Essentially posts from unknown accounts look less out of place this way

IMO - As a child or teenager you try out different personalities, ideas, etc, then look back, say "what was I thinking", and learn a bit about how your own mind works. Better then, when consequences are small for you and everyone else, than to delay it until adulthood.
