we don't need phone numbers any more and we should resist the systems that insist on them
We're luckily seeing an increase in the independence of phone numbers as 2FA options. A lot of professional services / work-related use an app or TOTP now so my reliance on a phone number ended about a year ago.
I would feel like in the far future phone numbers would be obsolete and be replaced with different system, but cellular networks suck in making any meaningful progression so I'll likely be dead before something like that happens.
Unfortunately cutting out a few of those systems will severly impact my social life and the tradeoff is not worth it. I could get a second phone maybe
Nah it's actually quite easy to get a nokyc SIM card where I live.
So for example a 911-type call where I doxxed myself could be used to link my identity to the behavior and used to predict my identity in the future based on that behavior patterns. Interesting
