   "Hoisted by your own petard." Tragic.   
      
   An alternative is that the "_nomap" flag only works going forward and   
   doesn't require Apple/Google/etc to remove existing db entries already   
   captured.

   Just hack the MAC or get a new router.   
      
   If you were in the EU/UK you could demand them to delete the information   
   under GDPR. But apparently you prefer your version of "freedom" and this   
   isn't the american way.
