TL;DR:
> Just add "_nomap" to your network's name to opt out from Google's service.
> Microsoft requires you to include "_optout" somewhere in your SSID.
> So you'd need to create an ID such as "1234_optout_nomap" to reject both services.

Ugh, this seems really annoying, because SSIDs are limited to 32 chars, and you give up 13 just opting out of these services
- justusthane 7y agoRight. Why can't Microsoft just respect _nomap as well as _optout? It's clear what the user's intent is. Also, according to the article, Google requires _nomap to be at the end. Apparently Microsoft doesn't require the same for _optout, but what if they did?
