You realize how limiting it is to have to buy a sim card, right?

I can register 1,000 anononmous email accounts in an hour. Its free. Now do that with phone numbers.

Also, putting a Sim card in your phone exposed you to enormous security risk. Lots of folks use phones without ever connecting then to cell towers.

Email is the security and privacy alternative to phone numbers

Are you even reading the entirety of my responses? It seems like you're reading one small bit, ignoring the context, focusing on that and making non-sequitur arguments. If you want to debate your strawman, do it without me.

"I have so much money that I don't care about buying hundreds of Sim cards for new accounts. And in in my country I can buy a Sim card anonymously. I don't want to think about people in other countries who have mandatory Sim card registration laws. Lalalala"
