Good advice from @Acolyte. Just reminded me to look at an app to fake GPS on for an app required for work. The location is not required once your access the app as a guest. After loading the app it works offline…
Voting with your feet is a concept that makes sense here. Choosing not to go there and spend time and money elsewhere will make a huge impact.
In the Unites States there is a small 550 million or so ear marked for a SMART city. It is a government program that if you opt in your life is more convenient you may not have to pay a toll or you will get free WiFi, which is how they suck you in.
Just like phones your paying for them to steal from you.
Edit to share app that works for me.
