Does anyone respect a Wi-Fi Access Point SSID with _optout_ or _nomap
anymore?

Mozilla apparently said they'd respect the SSID_optout designation.
"Mozilla's client applications do not collect information about WiFi access
points whose SSID is hidden or ends with the string _nomap."
https://location.services.mozilla.com/optout

What "client application" are they speaking about anyway?

Especially as it seems M$ long ago deprecated use of _optout in the SSID.

Worse, nobody is respecting Google's _nomap appended to your Wi-Fi SSID!

Because even when opted out, your location privacy is still not respected!

If you are broadcasting your SSID, can I ask you a question?
Do you use the _optout_ and/or the _nomap on your own router's SSID?
