He was told the usual: laws, security, geopolitics. But then he stumbled across something odd – an old post claiming someone had tracked their AirPods using Find My on Baengnyeong Island, a remote Korean territory. If the feature was illegal under Korean law, he thought, why did it work there? […] users were able to find lost backpacks, wallets and AirPods for the first time, along with some long-overdue peace of mind.

    Since no one has posted the reason why this feature was blocked by apple in south Korea and I don’t want to read this article, I had Claud summarize it,

    According to the petition, Apple said Find My was disabled “because of internal policy,” likely related to privacy concerns and South Korean law interpretations Applelnsider, though the exact reasons were never officially stated.

        Because all of these “news” websites are infested with annoying Ads that make it frustrating to read and most articles are only actually worth a paragraph worth of actual useful information and the rest is fluff, added to lengthen the article so that you have to scroll more and see more Ads. The above 4 lines is all I cared to know from the article

          How else do you suppose the free news website subsists? And out of the 40 stanzas here only the first 8 have ads. I strongly disagree with the notion that non–pyramid-style articles are filled with fluff.
