The carrier told me to contact apple.
And in my case, I can’t exactly harass all my neighbors to disable their “free hotspot”. I should be able to control my own phone and dictate what it does/does not connect to.

That battle was lost a long time ago. I should be able to restrict (or know) what the apps do. I should be able to firewall my phone. I should be able to access the files on it.
But in the end, only apple decides this, and their decisions are self-serving.

beware of FCC.
But it will not work.
the high dB signal is where the FCC Will care.
You did not mention exceeding Part 15 emitter limits in your previous post.
You can of course saturate the entire spectrum, but that breaks every network, not just the SSIDs you’re "waging war" against, and will probably get you a visit by the FCC sooner or later.
Maybe you could broadcast thousands of spoofed BSSIDs; I have no idea about the legality of that, and the legitimate operator of the SSID might not find that too funny and take legal action against you as well, as that would be pretty transparent denial of service on a public band.
legally, you dont want to do it. i have had experiences with seeing my SSID coming from a router that is not mine, and the nieghbor basically said effoff ill do what i want. in that case i did what i want as well.
It’s not like anybody can "own" an SSID name, and if you’re using WPA, the only effect would be a few milliseconds longer of initial connection time per device.
Actively running a DoS against your neighbor might or might not be legal, but it sure is petty (and given the above, unnecessary).
