Liberal MP David Honey is raising the alarm about Perth Airport's free wi-fi policy, saying it's an invasion of privacy — and a digital rights expert agrees. But the airport says the terms and conditions are standard.
public wifi is usually a massive data siphoning device. People think hey yay free and connect and go ham and don’t realise that everything you do on that wifi is being recorded.
it IS standard and it’s still bullshit, I have no idea why it’s now being considered a problem when they were fine to let it skate by for years despite privacy advocates yelling their heads off
In light of another post on the community, i’m questioning myself.
Am I falling for some populist drivel here, or is this an actual problem being highlighted?
