The latest news from Pakistan (Pakistan Province Blocks Sim Cards Of The Unvaccinated) got me thinking.

They specifically want to block SIM access, not internet access per se.

Over the last few years, we have been slowly weened into coupling our identity with two-factor authentication (2FA), in order to log in to online banking and other services. This has been done "for our own safety", of course.

But 2FA consists of either an Authenticator app (provided by Google or Microsoft, predominantly), our email address (most people use a free email, provided by Google or Microsoft, predominantly), or our cell number (and therefore our SIM).

If they "banned" a person from the internet, he could just use a friend/family's internet to access his accounts. But when his very identity is tied to a few globalist corporations, or a SIM, he could be fully denied from accessing his accounts.

The SIM is the only control factor that they don't fully control. Hence that is the thing they ban.

Just like with 9/11 and the Patriot Act, they've used "security" as the means to tie us up. Yes, people use bad passwords and 2FA is a decent concept, but the execution has given power to a centralized few.

Consider what services you rely on, frens, and what you would do if they denied you access!
