Opt in? I didn't agree to a specific term sheet when I started broadcasting my SSID. Public is public, it's not public with stipulations. At least not yet. I agree tho, we need to have some legislative solutions or something to protect our privacy. Alternatives exist, like not broadcasting your SSID.
- rootusrootus 5y ago> not broadcasting your SSID Unless I am woefully misinformed, this is in fact not possible. I could set a flag somewhere that would instruct clients not to present the SSID as an option, but I can not hide its existence; not even just the name. The only thing hiding the SSID does is inconvenience me.
- mqus 5y agoAs noted by other commenters, google collects and stores your MAC adress, but looks at your SSID to determine if you opted out. So I assume if you're hiding the SSID then Google will still collect your APs MAC adress.
