Stop snooping for local devices during ads

iOS 14 tattled on suspicious activity that occurs during ad warps (not sure what the generic term is; I triggered it with a reward doubler). Specifically, ST Timelines is having a look around the local network for other devices and may or may not be attempting to connect to any that are found.
I cannot fathom any legitimate purpose for this, and hope it is not intended behavior. Either way, please put a stop to it.
(Also, if this is being done by IronSourceSDK, you have a BIG correction to make to Shan's privacy post.)
Steps to repeat:
1. Install the iOS14 public beta on an eligible iPhone/Pod/Pad
2. Request an ad warp
