>without my consent?
consent isn't needed, given that broadcasting your SSID in the open clearly fails the "expectation of privacy" test.
Also from a practical angle, what exactly are you trying to prevent? That there's a wifi router at your house?

Until there’s technology that lets you do that easily I think this definitely violates privacy. Especially if unique information like MAC addresses is collect, and not only the Wi-Fi name.
I wonder how MAC addresses are treated under GDPR since e.g. IP addresses are considered personal information.
That's magical thinking.
Magical thinking is not a privacy problem. Magical thinking is a cognition problem.
