There's a pretty good chance they'll get around it- if they aren't already.

Samsung TV? You have a Samsung phone? There's an easy way to jump the air gap.

Neighbor has a TV connected to the Internet? Send data to that TV and pretend you're not connected to anything so the user doesn't catch on.

    Pretty sure that's straight up against the law. IANAL tho.

    That's exactly how air tags work currently.

    No it’s not, AirTags are just Bluetooth beacons. When an iPhone or other apple device picks them up, the location data is uploaded to Apple’s servers and then sent to whoever owns the AirTag. There’s no two-way communication and the owner of the AirTag doesn’t get any personal info from the devices picking it up.
