Your SSID is there for you to connect to your private network. The fact that it is broadcasted is a technical limitation, and it is not intended for others beside you. Nobody besides technical people know that the SSID broadcasting can be disabled, and even less know how to use their wifi when it is disabled.
- dgl 5y agoThis is the crux of the issue to me, they've now made a privacy opt-out that requires you to broadcast an SSID, in order for their systems to ignore your BSSID. If they don't have an alternative to this opt-out then there's probably a GDPR case right there.
