I don't know if that is true. But the issue here is that the data is being sold to others for other use cases.

You used to be able to be an anonymous SIM in the UK. (No clue whether that's still the case.)

The SIM would still be tracked.

Don't think whatever EU laws allowed the UK to keep some SIMS anonymous have changed since they left?

The country that still allows it is Czechia. So it's probably not an EU law that requires it.

Thanks!

That figures. They are also pretty liberal on their citizens owning guns.

Also Sweden

As the article demonstrates, it’s easy to de-anonymize the data.
