On: Is it stealing to read by the light of your neighbour’s lamp?

> Anywho - if you don't broadcast your SSID, or, even less dismissively, don't Faraday cage your house, then anyone interacting with the electromagnetic field that you haphazardly allow to escape the privacy of your residence is within their rights to do so.

Are you seriously arguing that anyone is allowed to tamper with your mobile phone signal as long as you're at home and they're outside the walls?

[Jerrrry → vntok]

Yes, and it is legal, and commonly done.

You are allowed to broadcast a cell phone tower signal and MiTM the connection.

You are not forcing others to connect to your signal.

The spirit of this freedom is even emblazoned on every compliant device, look for the FCC warning.

As for jamming, that is entirely unrelated, not comparable, and illegal. It would be akin to blaring loud music and lights.
