Naw, the bigger issue is that we have system of physically networked devices but it takes 2 years ("from approximately August 2022 to January 2024") to figure out which device on that network was issuing requests.
There's some solid intentional negligence going on when the phone company can figure who to bill but they can't figure out who made the calls.
- xnyan 2y agoI don't know the details of the case, but in every country/telephone network I am familiar with, it's only a tiny bit of effort to get at least temporary access to a phone that has no direct connection to your identity. How would the phone company quickly track down someone using a phonelines not connected to their identity?
- jolmg 2y agoTo add to your comment, payphones still exist. All it takes is some cash and a hoodie for an anonymous call. Further, the ability to make an anonymous police report is a feature for the safety of the person reporting. Otherwise, the person reporting may face revenge if the police fail to keep their identity secret.
- coldtea 2y agoNah, the dial-a-hitman militarized trigger happy police force still sounds like the bigger issue, by an order of magnitude...
