It shouldn’t just be termination, it should be jail time. It’s no better than selling a gun to a person you know intends to use it to commit a crime.

- UberFly 3y agoT-Mobile should make a few loud examples out of those proven to be doing this. Deterrent is the best medicine. Of course they don't want this kind of attention so they'll do as little as possible.
- akerl_ 3y agoJust so we’re clear: getting shot is quite a bit worse than having your phone number stolen.
- fortran77 3y agoMany people--rich or poor--would rather get shot and survive than lose all their wealth.
- datavirtue 3y agoWe talking a grazing, or a colostomy bag and a wheel chair?
- fortran77 3y agoI wouldn't, but I think a lot of people would.
- aydyn 3y agoA person getting a gun is not the same as someone getting shot.
- tommit 3y agoWell yeah, a person getting their SIM swapped is not the same as someone getting scammed. Until it is.
- aydyn 3y agoGuns have legitimate uses sim swapping does not.
- akerl_ 3y agoSure... except the thread you're in started with: > It’s no better than selling a gun to a person you know intends to use it to commit a crime. Though I guess you could be making the case that crime is a legitimate use of guns?
- aydyn 3y agoI'm not sure what your point is as I'm not the one who shifted the conversation. To be clear, my original post only pointed out that what you said is a non sequitur: > It’s no better than selling a gun to a person you know intends to use it to commit a crime. > > Just so we’re clear: getting shot is quite a bit worse than having your phone number stolen.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoWell that could really depend. If your phone number being stolen causes your savings to get drained for long enough that you run into problems making important payments like rent, taxes, car payments; That can pretty quickly spiral into even worse situations. In a world/country where many people have too few savings to go even a month without being paid, losing even that can get extremely dangerous. Not to mention the stress of such a situation alone will probably take quite a bit of your life expectancy off.
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoWhile I absolutely understand the point you're making.... At least in the United States, we also live in a society where the financial ramifications of getting shot could lead to equally bad financial outcomes (whether directly or indirectly).
- dexterdog 3y agoIt's actually significantly better.
