Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

Among other sweeping changes, the era of the burner phone could end with the rollout of new “Know Your Customer” rules voted on by the FCC on April 30, as noted by the blog of the D.C. telecom law firm Wiley Rein. Customers would, according to the proposed rules, have to present a government ID, a physical address, a full legal name, and an existing phone number.

Then how the fuck would someone without a phone number get one???

This is like the time (5 minutes ago) when I tried to get help from Ubisoft support with my login problem. To contact support, I had to login.
