  • My location isn't being tracked. Not having a SIM card is part of the reason why.

    I'm not worried about apps on my phone owning my device. I would be worried about a SIM card owning my device.

  • SIM cards are a computing device that can execute closed source code on your device, sent from a cell tower

    Most of the zero days used by NSO Group that were reported by Citizen Lab only worked if you had a SIM card. By eliminating SIM cards, you decrease the surface area of attack by magnitudes

  • Is charity not a duty to humanity too? I don't understand the distinction.

    On OSM you don't have to just flag something. You can edit it directly, so it leads to more accurate information.

  • Can you name me an EU bank that doesn't demand a phone number to signup?

    Unfortunately, PSD2 doesn't support TOTP and other strong 2FA solutions, so they all appear to require phone numbers. This is one area where EU is worse than US

  • You probably shouldn't be using a service that requires a phone number. More often than not, they use it as a backdoor to bypass your password and it leaves your account super vulnerable.

  • Is an eSIM vulnerable to the same security risks as a physical SIM?

  • If you care about security, don't put a Sim card in your phone.

    Personally I don't have a VoIP plan. For archaic services that I can't live without and required a phone number, I use google voice or Skype. Its a vulnerability, so avoid if at all possible

  • A war crime is a war crime. An act of terrorism is intentional. Using SigInt to target is, by definition, going to lead to war crimes.

    This was a terrorist act that was used to murder children, and must be condemned with sanctions.

    This is why targeting shouldn't be done by SigInt, directed by AI or otherwise.
