No — your original question asked if "you" can remotely turn on Find My; the "you" in that statement implying someone other than its authorized user.


Only an authorized user of that Mac can turn it on, and no, that action cannot be accomplished remotely unless the Mac is remotely managed through MDM or some equivalent service.
