Hello comrades!
I’d just like to inform you that I’ve finished a guide about securing your communications. It’s in no way comprehensive, but I hope it will help you start out!
So you want to secure your communications?
Cheers!
EDIT: I hate the feeling of tiredness, I improved the guide according to community feedback but I can barely even consider this and improvement. More work is necessary.
Thank you to @Pili@lemmygrad.ml, @Kovpak@lemmygrad.ml and @ColonelRevolution@lemmygrad.ml.
As the guide mentions, it’s very much troublesome to Americans, but not for example Polish people. You can walk into any corner store, buy a sim card starter for 5zł ($1.25) and have a phone number that signal will accept. All of that anonymously. If other countries have similar possibilites like Poland, it should in no case be looked over.
It may be possible to buy it anonymously, but you’d still need to be very careful not to let it communicate with any cell phone towers and reveal your home’s location (e.g. by only inserting it in some public place, registering on Signal, and then removing it). There are also other concerns listed in the linked document that make Signal even more suspicious
Yeah, and it would be best to put such a sim card in a burner phone. You don’t want to get identified by your main phones IMEI.
Since when they dropped name registration for Polish SIM cards?
Tell me more. I hope I’m not wrong about just being able to buy a starter and straight up using it without anything more required, because I remember doing just that in the past.
It’s impossible since 2017! All prepaid cards are tied to names, surnames and PESEL number.
There is a legal act: https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2016000090401.pdf
There is a passage: „Art. 60b. 1.

The guide will be ammended IMMIEDIEATLY after I finish my shift!
This information is extremely crucial and important, I will look into Matrix as to replace the hole left by Signal! Thank you very much for this information.
