  > In my country there are significant consumer protections around mobile phones. That's a good point – we urgently need those same protections for e.g. things like email addresses or Google accounts. But, yes, I do know people that are unable to port out their phone number: Sometimes it's a line on a contract in somebody else's name (minors, spouses etc.), sometimes it's a prepaid card not properly registered (although that's getting less common with the EU mandate to verify everybody's identity before activation). Neither a phone number nor a Gmail address/Google/Facebook/... account is a good anchor of trust for digital identities.
