       Version 01 of the "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" specification has just been uploaded to the IETF! This is the unwanted tracker specification that Google and Apple are jointly developing. The closer this specification comes to being finalized, the closer we are to the launch of Android's Find My Device Network!(H/T BjoernDroege on Twitter)(1/2)

       Google already rolled out unwanted tracker alerts in Android earlier this year, but it's based on a custom implementation. Apple is allegedly waiting for this specification to be finalized before rolling out unwanted tracker alerts in iOS. Google says that they're waiting on Apple to do that before they roll out the Find My Device Network on Android.  (2/2)

       @MishaalRahman Ah yes. The work #Apple SHOULD have done before launching airtags at scale and creating a security nightmare for EVERYONE not on a newer iPhone. Cool. Glad to see they're FINALLY contributing to the solution for the problems they caused. Maybe this will mean, they won't be holding Google's tracking network hostage anymore.

       @MishaalRahman First we were waiting until apple rolled out unknown track alerts on IOS. now, we are waiting until the spec is finalized and finaly apple rolls out an update for unknown tracker alerts. Google should've just rolled out Find my device network and make the necessary changes if any later.
