Everybody 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.

@MissConstrue even UK doesn't go as far as this, you can buy SIMs and phones anywhere without having to hand over ID - although topping them up either requires going into some shop which will have CCTV, or using an electronic payment card.

But authorities only tend to delve deep into identifying a pay as you go user or any mobile device searching *if* a device is used for large amounts of drugs dealing and/or someone gets stabbed because of the toxic masculinity on those networks, or if they have been driving like an absolute tool to the point they caused a bad crash and it contains evidence of them doing so (although loads of fools post their crimes to social media anyway)
