   I don't think he needs a morality re-education.   
      
   Everyone who knows nothing about the technical issues always seems to harp   
   on their personal "moral" aspect, where some people mentioned what you say,   
   but as others have already noted, there's no reason to suspect illegal   
   purposeful intent so I, for one, kept all my responses purely technical.   
      
   However, since I'm on Apple newsgroups, I'm very familiar with people   
   claiming the moral high ground solely as a substitute for knowledge about   
   the situation. An example is iOS owners always claim that the reason they   
   can't do things everyone else can do (even macOS owners can do them) is   
   that Apple is "more moral" than Google or Microsoft (e.g., iOS can't do   
   TOR, and iOS can't spoof GPS, and iOS can't randomize MAC addresses per   
   connection, and iOS can't run system-wide firewalls, and iOS can't torrent,   
   and the list goes on and on and on for whatg iOS can't do that the iOS   
   owners falsely claim is a "moral" issue).   
      
   Back to morals...   
      
   In this thread, plenty of people explained to the OP how to "forget" and   
   "block" connections to nearby unsecured SSIDs, which is all he needs.   
      
    netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="Neighbor_SSID" net   
   orktype=infrastructure
