  And people could ask to be delisted from it. Many celebrities and public figures exercised this option.

    Google location doesn't associate identities with addresses like the white pages did, so that is not a perfect analogy. In an unfortunate case of self-reference, I'd say Google Location is much closer to a (paper) map, since it correlates addresses to physical location. As far as I know, no one[1] can delist their address from a map, not even public figures. A map will tell me where Number 8 Mulholland Drive is, nothing more, nothing less. 1. Military and TLA agencies excepted.

    You had to pay a monthly fee for that privilege and talk to a customer service person to set it up. Often, your info still got sold to telemarketers. In comparison, changing your SSID is free and something you can do yourself.
