Wait up -- the fact that you're running censorware causes you to stick your nose into other peoples' business?  

Why are you even logging? You can turn it off, y'know.

This kind of stuff is why I don't actually bother with public wifi anymore. Phone already has internet access, why would I want to subject myself to unreliable, restricted and annoying experiences by associating with an SSID? There mere fact that so many of them have T&C splash-screens is reason enough to avoid them.  The whole product class has been wrecked by people who aren't thinking hard enough about what they're trying to do.
