> There is no such thing. I have no problem finding the SSID for "hidden" networks. Yes I meant hidden networks, and I didn't know they were discoverable. Really? Why are are they called hidden then? > The existence of the aggregated data on me is itself the risk, itself the violation of privacy Yes it is a risk, but it is not in itself a violation of privacy. I think you are conflating secrecy and privacy a bit here. You parents or close family posses a lot of private information about you and the very act of possession is not violation of privacy (but it does pose a risk that you have to live with, hoping and expecting they will respect your privacy). Violation of privacy occurs at the moment this information is used in a way you would not approve. Anonymity - you do not know about me Secrecy - I do not want to share information with you Privacy - I am OK to share my information with you and I trust you to not use it in a way that I would not approve of
