The previous and current government claimed that #SIMreg / #SIMregistration will solve the #scams and #spams via #SMS.

Then what is this?

Is #SIMregPH law a total failure, or maybe, the government is?

Wait. I thought the #SIMregistration is the solution to SMS spams and scams, sacrificing the #privacy #security and #anonymity of the people, especially those who needs it.

So, what in the world is this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They said #SMS #spam will be solved if there is #SimRegPH. I guess that's why I'm still getting #spams. ROFLMAOL!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The Philippine government is banking everything on the #Privacy and #Security hellhole called #SIMregistration to solve problems on #scamming and #phishing but they haven't blocked “g0v.ph” which can be used for such.

/facepalm

#Education is what we need, not foolish laws. (We already have a black market for pre-reg SIM cards a few months before the first registration deadline. ROFL.)

What the? Are you kidding us?

“DICT’s ‘Project: SIM Check Mo’ puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks”

“The project lets any mobile user to text “SIM Check” plus the phone number of any subscriber to 1326 (DICT’s hotline), and they will receive the registration status of the number, the initials of its owner, and if the record of the number is in good standing.”

‘“Project: SIM Check Mo” is a “solution” looking for a problem that it can eventually become. Already, foreign numbers such as Malaysian ones are being used to spread spam and scam messages to Philippine mobile subscribers. SIM Check Mo simply cannot address that. As such, this project will be a failure from day one.’

“NTC, telcos checking legality of deactivating apps, services for unregistered SIM users”

"Let's say after the 60 days, you will lose your access to your Facebook accounts or our TikTok accounts, but you still can use your phone, you can still call, you can still text. And then after a certain period, you will lose your outgoing calls," Uy explained.

The official said the same tactic has been implemented in other countries.

In India, a number of Chinese mobile applications, like TikTok, are banned due to security concerns.

BOOM!

“The National Telecommunications Commission said Wednesday it did not give permission for telcos to use emergency alerts to remind their users to register their SIMs.”

"The SIM card registration is an invasion of privacy and the alert warning for this is not the disaster I envisioned when I authored the bill," Colmenares said.

They should be penalized for it. They can use the money they are charging people for manually helping them register their SIM cards. ^_~

“While we understand the importance of addressing crimes, misinformation, and scams, the Mozilla Philippines Community firmly believes that the policy neglects the critical role of online anonymity in safeguarding whistleblowers and promoting public discourse. Additionally, the deployment of digital identity systems may create security risks that could have catastrophic effects in the event of a data breach.”
