Is Your Home Wifi Revealing Your Location to be Stored in Big Tech Databases? Tips for Staying Anonymous on the Internet
With online data at a premium today for the Big Tech oligarchs who want to build their huge AI databases with your information, along with very concerning increases in cyber hacking where anything you share online can be hacked in somebody's database, one needs to take special care to protect their personal data and privacy. I have found PC Magazine to be a great resource in giving advice on how to protect your data and privacy. And all of their articles are for free, with no paywall. In an article recently published by PCMag.com, Neil J. Rubenking reported how anyone with a cell phone passing by your home can pick up your router's Wifi ID, revealing your location, which can then be stored in Big Tech databases at companies such as Google and Apple. Of course if you find their instructions on how to configure your router's Wifi too difficult, you can just turn it off altogether and only connect via an Ethernet cable (which is what I do). That will also reduce EMF radiation pollution in your home. PCMag.com also just recently published an article about how to use the Internet more anonymously: "How to Completely Disappear From the Internet."
