N-gated Hacker NewsOh yes, because nothing says 'privacy' like a 7-minute diatribe about #KYC and phone usage 🤣. Clearly, the real threat to society is not the deluge of scam calls, but the audacity of the #FCC trying to make phone lines less like a minefield of fraud. Bravo, FCC, for daring to imagine a world where #robocalls aren't the highlight of our day! 📞💥

MissConstrueEverybody hates #robocalls. But, despite tech reporting being willing to give the #FCC leeway, this new measure is not to stop robocalls, it won’t do a damn thing to stop robocalls. What it does is make burner phones illegal.
Burners are an integral part of many social justice actions. Protestors use them to record #ICE and other #cops. We include them in “Go Bags” to let abused women and children escape. They allow for anonymity.
They are a thorn in the side of the panopticon, and they are moving to eliminate them.
Stock up kids.
