The 🇵🇱 Polish government has suggested new EU rules to ban the #anonymous purchase of #prepaid #SIMcards.

“The main threat associated with prepaid SIM cards is #anonymity,” says a document obtained by @statewatch and one cannot make one's disdain for #humanrights any clearer.

Extensive research has found no evidence that bans on anonymous purchases of SIM cards contribute to reducing #crime.

@froge @fj I'm not replacing @signalapp with "random tools" but good options.

Like @delta & @thunderbird as well as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim which work flawlessly over @torproject / #Tor using @tails / @tails_live / #Tails and @guardianproject / #Orbot respectably.

Considering the costs of even acquiring and upkeeping an #anonymous #SIM, I'd rather pay €2 p.m. for #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-supported #eMail with the option of self-custody than $2,50+ p.m. just to keep a phone number.

Or is anyone here expecting @Mer__edith to risk jail for life amd not comply with #CloudAct?

It stenches like #ANØM, because NOTHING IS FOR FREE and running a #VCmoneyBurningParty is expensive...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@osman@hachyderm.io If your #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec and/or #ITsec relies on @signalapp@mastodon.world and/or @Mer__edith@mastodon.world [risking jail *or worse*](https://web.archive.org/web/20210908180219/https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968), you fucked up! - If #Signal was secure, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat & #SkyECC. Seriously, to me #Signal stenches #Honeypot like #ANØM & #CryptoAG. - All Signal fans do is #FUD #PGP/MIME and#XMPP+#OMEMO which are truly #decentralized and allow real #SelfHosting as well as #SelfCustody for complete control of all the data and keys... That's why I get people setup with it!
