@succucirno arguably people almost never had it here to begin with

I'm getting a little weirded out by the number of sinbler accounts following out of nowhere...

ErCiccione's "New Localization platform: Weblate" CCS Proposal has moved to Funding Required and is now taking XMR contributions

@mwvdragon @succucirno @zemichi where was this?

@zemichi @succucirno
Well, voice capable SIM cards to be more precise. Cash-and-carry for second hand smartphones is possible, but short of black market shenanigans you won't be making calls without ID here.

@succucirno it is pretty typical, though, sadly. I was surprised to learn Americans can buy phones without ID, actually.

@moonman There may be some kiosks at airports that sell voice SIMs if you show your passport, but I'm not certain how that's supposed to work. Outside the airport, though, yeah...

There's an odd regionalism to law enforcement, though. Using an internet cafe in Tokyo requires registering photo ID, for example, but not in western Japan as far as I'm aware.

I think this is mostly reactionary legislation, though. The net cafe/ID thing is because of some high profile cyber-crime cases in the Tokyo, I think, so the municipal government felt the need crack down.

According to Japanese law, a voice-capable SIM card cannot be sold without registering the name and Japanese mailing address of the buyer. However, this apparently doesn't cover data-only SIMs. Odd loophole, given that there are numerous VOIP capable apps for smartphones. This does explain how zero-ID SIM vending machines can exist in Tokyo without the police freaking out. But I wonder how long before that loophole closes.

Shingetsu News has a very narrow, limited utility in spotlighting government bullshit that the ball-less Kisha Club cucks would never broadcast. Pity its almost totally eclipsed by all their shitty virtue signalling.
