Because the vast mass of people are lazy and/or ignorant, and the remaining people who are neither are either engineers or market drivers. Engineers keep the lights on and typically are not independently wealthy; market drivers reinvest the technology and science back into the market to create a captive market as services (non-ethical software). Furthermore, a majority of the front-running FOSS projects of the last decade have been co-opted by FAGMANN companies or destroyed by entryism by Rob Pike-alikes with awful fucking ideas. A few neckbeards keep any sort of FREE AS IN FREEDOM web alive by self-hosting and writing good notes, but this is seriously less than 1% of people and it will never tap into the auto-amplifying feedback loops which market mechanisms work on. Consider the number of people developing "open source software" on iBads/fagbooks working for tech firms, vs the number of people willing to demand FOSS software and actualize on it: the number of engineers willing to pay the actual price of freedom (lower convenience, lower interoperability, more time investment, actual money for hosting fees) is low and will always remain low. One can do their part by refusing to buy into it, by instead choosing to self-host services, and to make our methods known, but it only really goes so far. Ethical software will remain esoteric knowledge (as will understanding of computers, oddly enough for the same reasons.)

Fuck phone numbers. There was a time about 20 years ago when people thought it would not be needed in a few years, after evertything went online. It was a sign of early adopter to not have boomercell any more. Now it has become a pseudo-ID card to tie your real identity to your normalfag online activities, and de facto requirement that sure as fuck isn't going anywhere. At least I still live in a region where anonymous prepaid is still allowed, for now (outside US). Do americans have anonymous prepaids / burner phones any more? It's a tiny proportion of countries that allow it by now. Vast majority requires you to present real life ID to activate a prepaid subscription.

>>7473 It's illegal to use SSN for identification. Use a TID (tax ID) instead. 2FA is fundamentally less secure. Ask for a wireless FOB thing so it's not connected to your goyphone, or at least buy a burner goyphone that you never use anyway because goyphones are utter trash, and then send them the bill for it.

>>9876 Depends how much you care about exactly how anonymous it is. I bought one in cash the other week. Didn't even need a prepaid debit card. But what do I use it for? If your'e watching the pings and the nature of the traffic, then it's not hard to figure out who am and where I am when. Will it impact my life? Not really. It's just another layer to get through for an average jack in a world where most likely nobody would care enough. I guess I accidentally used it as a wifi hotspot for porn once, so they'll find out what kind of shameful stuff I wanked to once if they dig out all the DNS logs or whatever. Otherwise it's just going to corroborate the rest of my tracked activity, including logs of my car's license plates and patterns of fraudulent activity to do with who I am and where I live.
