⚡️Google & Apple Steal 2B+ Wifi Access Points
Chances are, if you’ve used Google Maps or Apple Maps, you’ve contributed to one of the biggest surveillance databases in the world.
Known for their accuracy, big tech maps can locate your phone within a few meters and even indoors.
No, these big tech maps aren’t using GPS - they’re using WPS or Wi-Fi positioning system.
These WPS systems collect millions of WiFi networks and tag them with locations.
Researchers in Maryland discovered through a flaw in Apple’s WPS that they could gather at least 2B (2 Billion) WiFi location points by requesting WiFi networks at random.
That’s enough points to cover the world’s populated areas, notably China was nearly empty except for a few thousand points. Looks like even the CCP can’t opt out of this surveillance.
Apple & Google have made their users the instrument of their surveillance.
And the things you can do with this surveillance are harrowing. The researchers were able to see how many WiFi access points went offline in Gaza due to the constant bombardment that caused the deaths of 40,000 civilians.
Similarly the researchers were able to see the damage from the August 2023 Maui fires, and the emigration of people from Ukraine to escape forced conscription.
Apple, Google and any organization they choose to share this WiFi data will have incredible capabilities. Don’t worry though - because these companies care so much about privacy - they give you a way to opt out.
• Solutions
➡️ Add _nomap to the end of your WiFi SSID (name), Google and Apple promise not to index Wifi networks ending with those names.
➡️ Turn off your WiFi network and use ethernet cable.
