      XPost: alt.comp.os.windows-10, alt.comp.networking.routers       From: soyon@soyon.biz              Does anyone respect a Wi-Fi Access Point SSID with _optout_ or _nomap       anymore?              Mozilla apparently said they'd respect the SSID_optout designation.       "Mozilla's client applications do not collect information about WiFi access       points whose SSID is hidden or ends with the string _nomap."       https://location.services.mozilla.com/optout              What "client application" are they speaking about anyway?              Especially as it seems M$ long ago deprecated use of _optout in the SSID.       https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/05/microsoft-disables-wi-fi-sen       e-on-windows-10/              Worse, nobody is respecting Google's _nomap appended to your Wi-Fi SSID!       https://blog.appcensus.io/2021/10/25/what-the-huq/              Because even when opted out, your location privacy is still not respected!       https://shirlleycoyle.wordpress.com/2021/10/25/location-data-fir       -got-gps-data-from-apps-even-when-people-opted-out/              If you are broadcasting your SSID, can I ask you a question?       Do you use the _optout_ and/or the _nomap on your own router's SSID?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
