Why can't you? They don't want to provide info for a credit check, you want human accountability. All that requires is for them to use a debit card for whatever service (prepaid or postpaid). Law enforcement can trace that if needed. No need for credit checks or really any other information directly in the hands of the telco.
- singpolyma3 4mo agoIndeed. Given the KYC requirements for getting a credit card, it seems that paying with a credit card should confer traceability for LE.
- jameshart 4mo agoThis is an argument in favor of KYC requirements for telcos, just that it assumes they can outsource it to banks.
- dataflow 4mo agoThis is neither KYC nor would that be relevant even if it were. The whole point is you could get traceability without a credit check just fine.
- jameshart 4mo agoYou're saying telcos should insist on a traceable source of payment, which means a source of funds which has some level of KYC. That is just KYC with extra steps.
