Amazon and Apple - creating a Mesh System

[WhollySchmidt]

From the other thread:

Ultimately if a manufacturer decides it’s important enough, they could put their own cellular modems in devices and they won’t need your home WiFi, Sidewalk, or any other network access outside of their control.

I’m not thrilled about that, but it’s something I’ll just try to be aware of for any gadget I consider adding to my home.

But if I had any Amazon devices I would absolutely turn off Sidewalk; I’m not interested in making it any easier for any companies to gather data.

And now that Apple is moving into that space, it becomes even harder to fix.

AirTags aren’t doing the same thing I understand Sidewalk to do.
