The 🇵🇱 Polish government has suggested new EU rules to ban the #anonymous purchase of #prepaid #SIMcards.

“The main threat associated with prepaid SIM cards is #anonymity,” says a document obtained by @statewatch and one cannot make one's disdain for #humanrights any clearer.

Extensive research has found no evidence that bans on anonymous purchases of SIM cards contribute to reducing #crime.

"#Manila, #Philippines – Like millions of other Filipinos, John Aguilar, 18, missed the April 26 deadline set by the government for registering his #MobilePhone under his own name.

Aguilar is not sure he will meet the extended deadline of July 26 either.'I have no ID and I don’t know how [to register],' Aguilar told Al Jazeera."

" On April 4, authorities arrested a Chinese businessman and a Filipino who were allegedly selling pre-registered #SIMCards to Chinese and Filipinos for P1,500 to P2,500 apiece. Authorities confiscated 100 such SIM cards, which were named under fictitious names and reportedly linked to a mobile wallet app." #BlackMarket

State regulators and telecommunication companies are currently having a “spirited debate” this Friday, April 28, over the possibility of government’s wishes coming true. This involves gradually cutting certain services, including access to #Facebook or #TikTok, for users who have yet to register their #SIMCards.

Hello fellow #Android people, do you happen to know of an app that allows quickly toggling one or both of my #dualsim #simcards on/off?
maybe even toggle with sim is used for mobile data with a single tap?
that still works with recent os versions and is still supported/developed?

(preferably free and open-source software, privacy friendly, no google services needed)

I couldn't find anything on @fdroidorg ... :BoostOK:
