It’s been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now…

They send me to this support page which seems like I have lost my account with all the data and stuff I had from when I was younger…

I don’t think this is normal or ethic to do (I know Google has been never ethic), but this makes me so angry because I never wanted to lose all that data…

Do they basically know every people networks? And if you don’t let them know… you lose access to Google? … 😠

    Oh right, I forgot about the _nomap… but I don’t want to name my SSID like that… it’s pretty ugly name. Or maybe I can make it shorter with the name please_nomap, that would look a nice name. hahaha

      SSIDs are not like Reddit usernames since some people know they are yours, otherwise a lot of creativity could be shown.

      BTW, I was wrong. It is _nomap_optout, so even uglier. Source: my own SSID is named like that since google let us know that.

          Yeah… WTF indeed. Its not talked about a whole lot, and only the most active privacy folks (like me, shameless) took steps like that early.

          Undiscoverable SSID should not be scannable by Google. Format is how I put in monospace, it being appended to your SSID as suffix.
