+*Anxiety is now focusing to WLAN mapping & key sharing and how easy it is
+ to locate people.*
+
+Today I renamed my primary WLAN network (hereafter referred as SSID) to
+`SSID_optout_nomap`.
+
+* `_optout` when included in WLAN network name should opt your network out
+  of Microsoft's [WiFi Sense](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/wi-fi-sense-faq).
+    * TL;DR: when enabled all your Facebook/Outlook/Skype contacts can
+      connect to your encrypted WLAN without knowing the password (which
+      they don't get).
+        * I would be interested in seeing piracy case where the network
+          owner is innocent and threat letter was received about random
+          contact downloading illegal content. I am most interested in what
+          would happen, would the network owner be able to proof that they
+          didn't do it, but instead their network was "hacked" which wasn't
+          the case as they were using Windows 10 or Windows Phone.
+* `_nomap` opt out of Google Maps accuracy increaser & Mozilla Location
+  Services & others.
+
+While I think that MAC based opting out would be better than making SSID
+messy, most parties doing the mapping only accept SSID and I hope all
+will take `_nomap` as mark of not wanting to participate.
+
+I also run `openwireless.org` hotspot and I like the idea, but as the SSID
+for it must be `openwireless.org` I had to leave it. I still belong to the
+movement as I still have open guest network **without captive portal or
+time limit**.
+
+The network is now called as `openwireless_nomap` and `openwireless5_nomap`
+(dualband router and 5 means 5 GHz). I hope that the type of users doesn't
+change by that change and in case it's abused, it's existence is easier
+to proof than that my private network was hacked.
+
+I encourage you to read about
+[the Open Wireless Movement](https://openwireless.org/) and join by
+opening a guest network *without captive portal or time limit* and
+preferably naming it as `openwireless.org`. In case you have similar issues
+like me, `openwireless` or `openwireless_nomap` are also OK, the idea is
+what counts.
+
+*It's openwireless_nomap and not openwireless_optout_nomap, because there
+ is no need to opt out of sharing passwords on open (no password) networks.
+ Also the order [_optout_nomap comes from reddit](https://redd.it/3g3xyu).*
+
+The other thing that I mentioned in the beginning is how I am worried on
+how easy it is to geolocate people.
+
+1. Start a discussion which with you somehow receive information on SSIDs
+   that people use or if they are part of `openwireless.org`.
+2. Go to their GitHub/Twitter/Facebook/whatever profiles and check where
+   they live or just get that information in the discussion too.
+3. Go to [WiGLE.net](https://wigle.net/) and go where your target lives
+   and enter their SSID to the right and click filter and you will see dot
+   on the map where they live.
+
+I don't like this and I don't doubt that there are people who would
+cause me (physical) harm (read the rest of this site/blog or then just be
+on common IRC channels and see as I make enemies).
+
+WiGLE doesn't accept `_nomap` yet or at least their note on opting out
+doesn't say so at the time of the writing, but hopefully they do in the
+future. In the meanwhile you can opt-out by sending email including MAC
+address of your access point.
+
+> WiGLE respects your privacy. To have records of your access point removed from our database, or if you have any questions or suggestions, send an email to: WiGLE-admin[at]WiGLE.net (please include BSSID (MAC) in removal requests). We're also on IRC: at WiGLE.net:6667
+
+*I hope this blog post at least communicates what I am trying to say even
+if it looks very messy to me and I haven't even took any anxiety medicines
+last night or today so my head should be working a lot better than it
+currently does.*
