Could you elaborate on the ethical part, please?

I don’t need that: I live in a city. Suburbs suck.
I live car-free, and I travel over 40 miles every now and then.
Bikes are great. Just saying.
That’s exactly the point: get a cheap new phone number, preferrably one that doesn’t link back to your identity. And it’s typically an online service, otherwise it’s not gonna be cheap or private (in my country anyway).
I’d do the opposite from what OP wants: a second line for online platforms.
I don’t think avoiding your potential employer seeing you reposting something like fuckworkmemes is taking privacy too far 😉
They don’t provide end-user apps, do they? It’s just APIs and SDKs.
Yes, but I wouldn’t like them to find my profile on one of the social networks that require a phone number. I might’ve said something not so nice about my current job, you know.
I was under impression that the big issue would be adoption. Like my bank supports only Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but definitely not a “FOSS Pay”.
If my phone rings, and I see an unknown number, I just decline. I’m at this level of trust.
Could you please elaborate what you mean by saying “hardware security updates”?
They’re proobably working on how to track messages on the way, like “hey, wanna use RCS? here’s our com.google.rcs library”, which by coincidence sends every message to Google.
Why do I need to know that “Torrent was downloaded from TheSiteINeverVisited.nfo”? It’s just extra noise I don’t need.
Doesn’t work for me with or without VPN, Canada or not. Weird.
What argument? I’m just saying that it works for me and many others.
Most commutes aren’t 40 miles even for suburbanites. Some people get worked up for suggesting that biking is viable for a lot of us for no reason, talking about edge cases, that often could be covered by public transport.
