I wish the UK had this. Mobile phone/data providers send a header with HTTP requests to provide the site with your phone number which they can then use to charge you without permission.
- SEJeff 10y agoWow seriously? That is semi-terrifying.
- cunotaco 10y agoAs far as I know that only happens with trusted partners of your mobile provider.
