Apple and Google have joined forces to push for adopting new industry standards designed to stop stalking via Bluetooth-enabled location-tracking devices.
The new draft specification unveiled today by the two tech giants proposes that vendors making devices that could enable unwanted tracking should make it easier to alert the targeted individuals when this happens.
"The first-of-its-kind specification will allow Bluetooth location-tracking devices to be compatible with unauthorized tracking detection and alerts across iOS and Android platforms," Apple and Google said in coordinated press releases published today.
