I am so happy to live in Sweden. All open WiFi networks here are free to use and requires no email or account (VPN recommended as always, though). Even at grocery stores.

That's generally true in the US as well. That's why people are so outraged by this.

So Walmart has done it again, huh?

Lol, I'm jealous. Pretty much all public WiFi requires login in the UK.

It was very easy to get free WiFi in the US compared to most EU countries I've been in. But here in the EU at least I have cheap data so it's not all bad.
