> associated with your identity in China Isn’t this true everywhere, just not effectively enforced? You are generally supposed to provide ID and a street address to the phone company when your number is activated. Some places treat that as just a formality and will take any number and address in the right format, but at least in the EU it’s the law and they have to “require” it. Are straight-up burner phones a la “The Wire” still a thing in the US?
