Hey-ho, privacy enthusiasts
I’m currently traveling around the world, and thinking about staying in Europe for 5ish years
But i’m a tinfoil guy and aware of the “many eyed beast”
So, what do you think? All lies and everything is actually dystopian, or everything should be fine?
I’m actually thinking about 4 countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece (because don’t like cold, and actually a little bit sick of other countries in the EU😅😅😅)
Gotcha
Internet is somewhat restricted but only the most common sites are blocked
Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID, same with Internet or a SIM card
Transportation there’s no ID requirements on buses and trains
Does the landlord register the people that rent the place?
How common is someone selling preregistered sim cards?
I don’t think you can a sim card anonymously in europe. You might be able to find some online, though I have no idea:- how legal they are- if they function at all/normallyAt least in my country ( which isn’t one you listed ) you cannot buy an anonymous SIM card in shops due to some anti terrorism law ( iirc ).I thought it was like that for the whole of Europe, but I could be wrong.Apparently there are still EU countries where you can buy anonymous SIMs.
You can, at least in Czechia. You just buy them over the counter.
Whelp. Guess I was wrong then. TIL. I’ll update my post. Thanks!
Countries like the Czech Republic still offer anonymous SIM cards. Though we do have a telecommunication cartel here.
Depends on the landlord - some are dodgy and won’t register you because they don’t declare the income
You can buy Romanian cards on eBay , Vodafone works fine in Spain
