Why were you surprised?
replyBecause I’m from Europe, and we need to provide an ID to get a SIM card
replyNot who you were responding to, but most of the western world requires IDs already. The US is an outlier on this issue.
replyI don't think that's true. At least not in the European countries I visit.
replyIt’s a EU wide requirement
replyI dunno. I can go to Tesco in Ireland and the UK (fine, UK is not EU no more, but still Europe) and get a sim without ID.
