@vfrmedia @gettie Point is that #Telco regulations stems from #Telegraphy and #Postal operations, and whilst there are legitimate reasons for #regulators to disconnect phone lines (otherwise #robocalling and #SMS-#Spam would be even more rampant than #eMail-#Spamming!)

  • Which OFC also intertwines with "#LawfulInterception" and the means of Governments to exercise control.
    • So anything claiming #security must inherently acknowledge the unfixable #insecurity of the #PSTN and completely cease using it and it's per-design compromised Infrastructure as a matter of principle.

That's why any "#secure communications" treats it as a hostile network and not to be trusted!

  • And that's not even scratching the surface that countries try to outlaw #anonymity - starting with #Prepaid - #SIM - Cards.
    • Because those traditionally had no reason for "#KYC" as there was no means for a customer to incur #debt or commit #fraud against the telco that provided said services, so there was [and IMHO still is] no "legitimate interest" in demanding any #ID for those, as any crime committed would be investigated with the existing #Govware inside the networks and thus found out.

@keepandroidopen where can one sign it?

Also does anyone at @BNetzA, #Bundeskartellamt, @EUCommission and other #Regulators take notes amidst #Google's #monopolization efforts???
