Coupling this with the article about WiFi being capable of surveillance even if one isn’t personally utilizing it with any device is really upsetting to wake up too. Need to look into if some sort of scrambler can be used to disrupt that, and everyone should buy a high powered laser pointer for easy identification of security camera
I may have been vaguely aware it was technically possible and maybe this aint the exact article I read but it seems they’ve got a working software model

Is that novel knowledge to most people? I remember reading an article about wifi-as-radar surveillance YEARS ago.
Edit: Found the article I read 15 years ago, plus some other tidbits.

All I’m saying is, if you’re reading about it on the internet now, assume that the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc have already been using it for years
Detecting human movement is old. Identifying and tracking specific humans is new.
The scrambler you’re looking for is labour organizing.
What is the threat model for this type of surveillance? Can any device measure this?
