   I have Settings {Connections, My device, Accounts, and More}

   In "More", I have "Location services" set at this level by default

   In "Accounts", I have "Google"   
   https://i.imgur.com/jjmqMW4.gif   
      
   Which shows the one Google account that you must have by default

   And which has "Location settings" at that level by default

   Given that, am "I" giving Google my home SSID by default while I sleep?
