I’m sure Apple will try to protect your location from other people, but for the system to work they will have to know your location in order to report it to the owner of the AirTag. I know they will try to keep you anonymous, but the system might get hacked at some point. I’m not into being tracked, not even by Apple.

Another reason to be wary is that Apple stated that Android phones can also pick up the AirTag signal and thus be a part of the tracking system.
