Sorry if I was a bit abrupt in my last post about wifi, there are tons of privacy issues that are worthy of attention, and it's a distraction when stuff is misrepresented in the name of click bait.
WiFi can be a source of privacy violations. E.g. if you are using a password-free network to talk with web sites that don't use HTTPS, the traffic is unencrypted and subject to others listening in. And if you (like 99% of us) use "normal" DNS (vs. a encrypted Domain Name Service for host name lookups), then your ISP could record the names of the sites you visit (but not the actual data exchanged with the site).
And for example, you should be worried that your new car is spying on you:

And that passive license plate scanners are collecting information about everyone's movements:

And the data that is collected by private companies isn't secure from theft:

And that twitter is serving up unmarked ads ...

And ... and .. and ... the list seems endless.
I think maybe I should go into business selling tin foil hats
