A look at Phreeli, a privacy-focused phone carrier that lets users sign up with only a ZIP code and uses an encryption system based on “zero-knowledge proofs”
without knowing almost anything about you.. — www.wired.com/story/new-an... @evacide : If you live in the US, you may be more concerned than ever about what happens when law enforcement shows up at a telco and demands information about your account. [embedded post] Andy Greenberg / @agreenberg : A new anonymous phone carrier startup Phreeli, launching today, will let you sign up for cellular service with almost no personally identifiable information—not even your name. All it asks for is a ZIP code, the minimum info legally required for tax purposes. www.wired.com/story/new-an... Mastodon: Kyle Rankin / @kyle@mastodon.kylerank.in : We had a similar philosophy when setting up the “Librem AweSIM” service at Purism, but this service goes to the next level by the minimalist approach to retaining personal data (just a zip code). With AweSIM, Purism would still have mailing address and credit card on file, and you essentially still had to extend trust to Purism. … @eff@mastodon.social : Phreeli founder Nick Merrill “is somebody who is extremely principled and willing to take a stand for his principles,” EFF's Cindy Cohn told @WIRED “He's careful and thoughtful, but also, at a certain level, kind of fearless.” https://www.wired.com/...
