I've just appended '_nomap' to the name of my WiFi (SSID) because apparently that's the only way to stop every passing #iPhone from capturing the SSID and sending it with its location back to Apple, who use it to create a global database which tracks devices that offer WiFi or have a WiFi hotspot.
Every person with an iPhone is a roaming #surveillance mule and #Apple doesn't give a shit about anyone's #privacy or the potential harms creating such a database enables. Remember that.
