Racist Wi-Fi names are considered a hate crime.

[Lifted]

This idea, it is good. Using MAC filtering be a pain for some people, but I only have two wifi devices that use my network regularly.

If you actually use it then it won't take but a few seconds to find your MAC and troll you back.

You might as well just use wep encryption. That's easier for you do to deal with, and just as secure(read not secure at all).

Now what if the guy who names it that is a member of the race being slurred? Still hate crime? This is fucking stupid.

Free Wifi - Whites Only.

Cops go to house, dude is black. Wut do?

Is Wi-Fi name the same as SSID?

Mine is the default SSID that the router (Verizon 7501) came with.

Yea, if I understand you right. Like Netgear, Linksys, whatever. It's the name you click on to connect.

Even though it's "not a big deal" it's empowering racists. I know most of you bigots love nothing more than to hear about these articles so you can use it as an excuse to do the very thing people are complaining about.

Free speech = free speech

 

[IAteYourMother]

why do we need separate hate crime legislation?? Aren't the hate crimes committed already crimes themselves?

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Lol, in my apartment thanks to a post on 9GAG I had mine named N**** Stole My Wifi

I'm half black, so its half alright

 

[ImpulsE69]

If you're going to do it, use it for something useful like...


"The guy next door is a pedophile."

or.

"Your daughter has nice boobs"

 

[Gothgar]

Hilarious, brb renaming my wireless network.

 

[alkemyst]

LOL

I guess I better change my Wi-Fi name soon. It could probably be considered racist or something.

People are retarded.

SSID's are broadcast and should not be profane or racist.

The only reason people would make them such is for others to see anyway.

You can be racist against your own race, you realize that right?

Of course. I hate white people, mostly because of you.

[HAL9000]

Errm. Good, that's clearly a hate crime.

 

[LookBehindYou]

That is retarded. They are going to waste all that time and resources "investigating" the problem. It's a rec center. They probably hooked up a linksys router and left it with the defualt ssid and admin password. Next thing you know someone logs in and changes it. I mean seriously, they don't honestly think it was someone who works there who decided to name it that knowing how many people would notice it do they?

I can almost guarantee you that nobody that can see your network has a clue what that even means.

That SSID could be open to interpretation, maybe it was advertising for a brothel?

Before we moved into our house there was a network named Apt1605WeHearUHavingSex, got a chuckle out of that.
