Given the method they decided on for people to opt out of wifi access point scanning -- requiring the rest of the world to change[1], while they continue doing whatever the hell they want -- I expect you'll need to log in to a Google account and write a brief essay about why your content shouldn't belong to them.

Wow, that's absurd. It would have been better not to have any mechanism at all.
