[Bug 1801383] Re: the WifiSyslog apport hook (used in firefox/tb) includes SSID informations

WifiSyslog does contain SSID information. While this will be removed
from the thunderbird and firefox packages, I don't think it would be
appropriate to remove it from the linux kernel apport reports.

For linux packages, this information is helpful in debugging wireless
driver issues.

While a list of access point information can be viewed as a privacy
issue, the user is prompted when Apport runs if the information is
suitable to be attached to the bug or not. In environments where there
are privacy concerns, the user can choose to not attach the information
when submitting the bug report.

I am therefore closing the Apport task for this bug. Thanks!

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
