I'm out of the loop, but surely there must be a way an "easy" way to spoof a cellular number these days to sign up for web services? Especially since you have your backend covered so well.
Asking sincerely, as I probably share your level of concern, but these days lack the time. Plus Im pretty ignorant of all things cellular.
I'll be honest, I didn't think as far ahead as actually interacting via a spoofed account.
Spitballing more because I find it interesting, but there must be some out of the box fake # services around. Surely they're inadequate if they're public services. How about services that give legit cloud base phone #s, like Google Voice (but obviously not)? Could one utilize those in conjunction with bluestacks or similar?
During the 48 hour video stream period, sign ins are postponed till the 48 hours are up I tried to sign in but "page not found" but Mike explained that registration will open up tomorrow.
Good question. Simple answer, and again, I'm ignorant on cellular hacking, but the consensus is a) don't trust anything from the app store b) don't trust anything unless you've got your phone properly secured at root. Just as you'd secure your PC via a variety of layers, and ultimately wardrivIng with disposable hardware, if you're absolutely serious.
Edit: would like to know myself if anyone has an answer. If cash burners still exist, it's probably the easiest answer. But then you'd have to worry about triangulation.
Personally, I'll probably just use my real info. And... now I understand all the retired hackers I knew long ago who decided obfuscation wasn't worth their efforts.
Basically, yes. If you really want anonymity, the only real solution is using hijacked hardware. And that's opening a bad can of worms, probably worse than just knowing how to pick your battles.
I went to join but I was asked for a telephone number so I could verify.... that I won’t do....

I was just reading his post thinking "I wish I was as fantastic as this guy."
Instead I use Brave and Duckduckgo and am a ghost online, but not for someone real who would want to find me. Sigh. Lazy....

Well yeah, but did you try it on Frank? :)

Makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the insight.
Guess a good analogy would be popular VPN IP usage being banned from access as well.
Thanks.
Genuinely asking how you think it "looks like shit" if all it currently has on it is a streaming video?
Yeah, they clearly had to strip down the website in reaction to cyber attacks.
My point was mostly rhetorical.
And edit: tbf, a shitty logo on a blank page would have revolutionarily clean web design in 2001.
Cheers.

Appreciate all the insight in the thread.
Learn THEIR coms too. Take your SIM cards out when you want anon and don’t turn electronics on unless absolutely necessary. Turn off auto updates
It's not for everyone. Mostly the facebook twitter crowds.
