Hmm … the author uses a hotspot connected with a SIM. Their whole argument hinges on not being tracked, but their hotspot is with them all the time. Seems like a massive hole in their privacy argument.
Android phones automatically randomize Mac addresses.
Although, if you are on Google’s Android, it is possible for Google to keep a list of all Mac addressed used and then work with the hotspot owner to find out your whereabouts.
What a terrible law. I remember something similar when visiting Germany like 15 years ago, and for whatever reason my roaming didn’t work. I think they got wiser since then because last time I visited there were plenty of hotspots.
What? I could connect to a mcdonald’s wifi without needing to provide any ID, I just tap “I Agree” to whatever tos stuff they show then its good. So do the mcdonalds in your jurisdiction just request a phone number for verification? 🤔

MAC addresses go brrr
Everyone conviently forgets about MAC address spoofing. Some operating systems let you set a Random MAC address on each connection. It’s great.
How is it that there are people still unaware of this?

Hotspot location is still tracked by the cell network though.
The first part of the article still holds. You can live on wifi.
