Surely such devious machinations is beyond the capability of mere trolls...
- psykovsky 12y agoNo idea how it is in the US, where I live a disposable SIM card costs €2,5 with €5 credit...
- gambiting 12y agoIn UK any phone provider will happily send you a dozen Sim cards for free if you fill out a form on their website. Most will give you some credit just for activating the number.

- pervycreeper 12y agoIt's worse than that, it will have no effect on trolls, but privacy conscious users who have an established following will now be at the absolute mercy of report brigaders if they happen to run afoul of the wrong people.
