Just saw this on F-Droid (well actually on IzzySoft) and thought I'd pass it along. Haven't tried it, please don't kill the messenger, just sharing...

"⚠DO NOT HARASS ANYONE AT ALL⚠"
Unless they are perverts, nazis, racists, sexists, zionists, dodgy politicians, ai users...

All pretty safe bets considering that they're wearing it anyways despite the mass rejection to it -- like cybertrucks. Lol

It's a good idea for them to say this. It's "cover your ass" language. They aren't responsible if you decide to harass someone. They explicitly told users not to.

Reminds to glasshole, an art project from 2014 that detected the presence of Google Glass and kicked it off the wifi network

Such a great name

While it's a nice thought, I prefer to have my BT disabled so I'm not being scanned by nearby APs or other networks tracking me too. It's kind of a catch 22.

I'm amused by all the "don't harass people!" disclaimers.

I tried this a couple of months ago. The app will not stay running in the background on Android.
Not running, not scanning.

The OS is probably optimizing it away, there might be a setting under battery management or app deep sleep that stops the OS from killing it, but it's gonna use a bunch more battery, too. I think this is a simple enough thing that a little esp could do it instead of a whole phone app

I tweaked several settings in the OS.
Under Mobile Data for the app I allowed "background data" and "unrestricted mobile data usage"
And under battery "unrestricted" and "allow background usage".
After all that I can't keep the app running. 🤷
