    It’s about control, in the end. Citizens are now linked by the governments to their phone numbers, as well as companies make it a priority to get your phone number and data.

    Somewhere in the middle of not using a mobile at all and having a device that monitors everything you do, non stop, are owning a dumb phone and having some control on the apps you install in your smartphone.

      They used to publish a whole book that had your name, and often address linked to your phone. B don’t perfect that this fake outrage by you is anything but disingenuous for what phones and any other hundred identifiers of you as a person to the government or anyone else. Your argument is infantile in it’s temper tantrum for it’s argument.

        If you are fine with it, more power to you. You can call me whatever you want, I don’t know you and couldn’t care less. But when I see older people struggling with bank representatives demanding them to comply with ridiculous policies, well, I’ll keep myself damn angry as long as it takes.
