    #^FCC Wants to Kill Burner Phones By Forcing Telecoms to Get All Customers’ IDs

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones—a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase—which would impact privacy-conscious people, to domestic abuse survivors, to journalists, and many more. The FCC plans to do this by legally forcing the country’s telecoms to store a wealth of personal information about essentially all phone customers, including a government issued identification number and their physical address, alarming privacy advocates and civil rights activists who compare the measures to those from authoritarian countries where it can be difficult to buy a mobile phone plan without giving up your identity.

      Thank you, . This is a great start. This bill passed unanimously in the house, 146-0.

      squaredtech.co/massachusetts-p

      The law prohibits companies that handle or process personal data of more than 100,000 consumers from selling or sharing sensitive personal data, including precise geolocation, biometrics, health data, genetic information, religion, immigration status, and sexual orientation, without a user’s explicit consent.

      The location data ban applies to both residents and visitors across the state.

        Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

        I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

        This is not a drill.

        If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

        They need you more than you need them.
        Make them fight for your rights.
        Do not comply.
