I use sktelecom. I don't trust them.
Edit: Maybe that means that crypto is suited for them, but I still have my doubts. Korea is far too restricted. Also anything you hear about the new president being "pro-crypto" is nonsense amd no my family doesn't just dislike him, a lot of them support him.
We will have to see. Politicians make a lot of statements and that changes when they take office.
So you obviously know better than me about where all this stands. As always, the truth is what ends up rolling out.
I dont trust any major corporation, especially a telco. They are all crooks and operate under monopolistic conditions.

You are really a skeptic. Haha. 😂
!LOLZ.
But seriously. Why use them, if you do not trust them. Is there no alternative?
By the way, it would be good to be able to pay internet bill, phone bill/balance with cryptocurrency. Probably this is the future, but we will see.
There are three major telecoms in Korea, I don't trust any.
Every few years they "get hacked" and their customer data is leaked pr stolen.
I'm not sure if "getting hacked" is the norm with telecoms in other countries or if they have some other issue that causes them to lose all their customet data.
In anycase, telecoms have a lot of very personal data from their customers and should do more to protect it.
There was also recently a case about the Korean government intentionallt selling data it collected at the airports, lol.
TL;DR, you don't have to be a skeptic to not trust telecoms, you just have to be reasonable.
I live in Hungary, but I have not heard about any telecom hacks related to sensitive data.
Maybe this is where they are different. In our country (Hungary) people often willingly share much more sensitive data with the public than what telecoms have about them.
Everyone should be reasonable. For example they should not share with the public that they are currently in vacation in another country. Many people have public photos about the interior of their houses, showing what kind of valuables they have in their homes, and burglars can easily use this information, when they choose a house to break into, and steal things from it. Nowadays Facebook is a gold mine for burglars, because many people willingly share almost everything, making themselves very vulnerable. So a public Facebook post can be much more sensitive than what the telecoms have about their customers.
I agree social media is far worse than telecoms. That's also why I don't trust most IT companies either. But telecoms are the gateway drug.
Even if you don't post while abroad, someone else may do it. For example even if you don't tell your coworkers, you dislike, they may find out, or your kids classmates. Or your smart devices in your home won't be generating as much noise as usual. Or you may end up on a public live CCTV feed abroad.
Even the best of us mess up, whether we want to or not.
On the state level, we have to deal with China and North Korea. They aren't above targeting individuals to get extra cash. Fortunately EU has great privacy control rules and laws, but I don't trust some of your your regional neighbors, especially in Eastern Europe.
