There isn't. It's just a troll (an anti-Google troll which is a common variety).

What does that have to do with the correctness of the statements?

And since when is publicly broadcast SSIDs are anyone's private data?

It's very unfortunate that zealots and hateful people are increasingly finding a home on HN.

Also once upon a time people knew what they were talking about before launching into a nonsensical speech filled with privacy cliches.

They are mapping public WiFi APs, public data, it's well within their right and that of other to do so. Offering an opt-out is just going over and beyond to appease the stubbornly misinformed.

How about you "fuck off". This opt-out shouldn't even be an option, listing public APs is well within everyone's rights.

Stop posting a direct link that crashes the whole web browser, that is down right malicious!

It's some sort of regression and a patch is already in review: https://codereview.chromium.org/178003011/

Stop karma whoring with this irresponsible shit.

That is very irresponsible.

Don't submit a direct link that crashes the whole browsers instead post a communication explaining the risks (also stop upvoting this!). It is also irresponsible since Google has a well publicized framework that enables responsible disclosure that this should have gone through first.
