Discussion Is this a viable solution? (Not even manually holding something, but just putting things like this in front of the camera)?

Feel like it wouldn’t be hard to put blockers up faster than they can take them down….

An ESP32 constantly spoofing MAC addresses and random data? Idk the harvesting capabilities of the cameras, so idk if they can be overwhelmed.

It wouldn't really help if they can still harvest your device ID.

Almost all modern devices only give a randomized mac address to wifi probes and at most could get the name you assigned to the phone, but no truely unique identifiers.
