I do not think that somebody will track me with a physical tracker, but still nice to have some protection.

    it’s a bit different, in that they’re just constantly broadcasting a singular id, over and over. The “tracking” is the application on various devices which receive the broadcast and report it to Apple, along with that device’s location.

    Sidewalk was packing up actual user data and running it over your network, which has other implications.
