@Atlas117 bad news, the fact that you have a cellphone and more than likely your phone has various apps on it, between the cellphone manufacturer, your cell provider and whatever App Store you utilize... “they” already have your cellphone number... this step helps prove you aren’t a bot.
I get it, and I agree for the most part about your privacy but as the movie 2000 Mules proved... anyone can purchase data to mine all that info all the way down to your date of birth in some cases. Is this right, is this how it should be? No, but it’s their world and as long as you pay that monthly cell phone bill “they” own all of your cellular data and all the info about who the end user is. Believe it or not, it’s all laid out in the fine print you didn’t read when you hit “agree” to the “Terms of Service” when you purchased your cell phone.
I dont have a cellphone. I havent since i was 21, im 35 now.
If i were to own a cellphone i would buy a second hand unit and use a pay as you go sim, although im not sure if u can still use them unregistered nowadays but i bet you could find an old, already registered PAYG sim in some old discarded phone somewhere.
I dont have twitter, truth or any other social media account online other than a facebook i created while i was at school which i use exclusively to contact family and close friends in th rare instance ii cant get hold of them in RL and of course this account on TGA, Specifically for the reason you mentioned TERMS OF SERVICE contracts.
I do not agree. No contract.
I shop mostly in RL stores and i pay with cash, if i cant afford something i save up until i can, I put nothing on credit, I rarely shop online and if i do, i pay a friend cash and buy it on their account with their card.
I do have a debit card but i hardly ever use it. I have a bank account but its used only for receiving wages, paying bills and then i remove the cash almost immediately.
I also do many other things but i dont feel like writing an essay right now.
Yes im hard to get hold of, yes its a ball ache and my friends call me paranoid, but thats just the way i like it.
Im serious about my privacy. Im prepared to make sacrifices.
I think if more people were like me then the digital prison systems would be practically impossible to implement, the tech giants wouldnt have morphed into the hydras they have become but most people just cant resist the convenient carrot that is offered, all by design.
