I don't think it is a privacy violation AT ALL. And nobody in this thread has even tried to explain why it is.

Just hand waving and "we don't have to explain ourselves, privacy is the default state!"

I gave an analogy above, you didn't even answer it. When does it become a privacy issue exactly?

You see, that's the problem - and that's the point. I did not answer because:

a) I don't really care about my SSID privacy. I do, however, care about other people right to know what's happening and to make informed (not implicit, by Google or Mozilla rules) decisions; and

b) I really don't (shouldn't) have to. It's not your concern when or how I feel my privacy being violated. I don't have to answer that, and it's a sad, sad society where this happens.
