Wrong. WiFi 7 has some cool stuff for location tracking.

From a previous post. https://staceyoniot.com/the-next-big-wi-fi-standard-is-for-s...

You will see WiFi 7 rollout heavily in business due to its benefit for real time asset tracking. Think warehouses, hospitals, education campuses, industrial plants. Location based asset tracking in real time has a great ROI in these areas to name a few. Its gonna be awesome.

I think you are underestimating the cheapness of those institutions. Maybe it says more about the places I have worked than the world at large.

Either way, we will see who is right before long.

And tracking consumers in stores

i thought the consumers were the assets being tracked.

This, along with facial recognition, needs to be made illegial in every state.

Disagree. Selling devices that you don't own and you cannot control (ie disalbe WiFi chip so tracking is not possible) should be the illegal part.

That's orthogonal to the issue, you don't need to make a technology illegal to make an application illegal.

Why not both?
