I recently bought a 2021 vehicle that has OnStar. I knew this would be a concern, but luckily there was a guide online to replace the antenna with a dummy antenna that isn't ever able to connect to the network to send data.

So that might be an option! It's still collecting but it's not sending anything back.

Woah is that a real photo? NY Times give it credit and a date so I'd assume yes it's real but also it looks so fake too. That's insane if that's actually how areas used to look!

I guess one reason why no one is paying attention to it is because is the Wi-Fi speed usually the limiting factor? In my case I've rarely ever maxed out my Wi-Fi 6 speeds. Typically the host or the network that I'm on that is the limiting factor.

Although I'm also in the US so I know where not know for having the fastest internet in the world. Maybe in other areas of the world WiFi 7 might be more useful.
