                BSSID <-> GPS <=> Address <-> Owner

Every person who knows anything understands that every owner of every home
in the United States is in a public database and that every BSSID:GPS in
every home in the world (essentially) is in Apple's public database.

For someone to not be able to connect the dots would mean they lack ability
to use tools as simple as a hammer and a nail, as it's that trivial to do.

It's a simple merging of 2 data files, both of which have no controls:
              BSSID <-> GPS <=> Address <-> Owner

What's DIFFERENT is Google's WPS has controls; Apple's WPS does not.
And Mozilla's WPS works like it should; Apple's WPS does not. 

What Apple is doing is the antithesis of everything Apple "says" it does.
