Remember the stories about how wifi does a good job of telling where people are in the house? They might already be on that way.

    I just put my wifi in a metal box. /s

    On a more serious note, how does one fight this? Will putting the router in a wooden or plastic box interfere? What about putting it outside the house but within range?

    That is just the start. Next: they want predictive AI to predict every aspect of your life.

    After that, they will figure out how to manipulate the WiFi, to control your behavior subtly.

    Then, comes make you do crimes, just to punish you for them.
