"ghost sim" damn they really sold y'all that koolaid huh? in America anyone can go buy an el cheapo prepaid sim at a gas station with no ID, in cash, and it's not a "ghost sim" it's just a prepaid phone (or a burner if you're fearmongering). i hate terms like this that beg the question that the default state is the government knowing who you are and anything else is a "ghost" sim/gun/whatever and is "dangerous".

*>ghost sim

Do all countries require a ton of personal info to get a sim?

Why do we accept it as a given that the government must know who owns a phone? Is this necessary?
