Yeah I for sure agree with you on this! I'm actually going to be switching my phone carrier next year, to one that I've heard about a few different times but it's US based and doesn't use that shitty off-shore call center stuff. For sure the biggest vulnerability we have is the offshore stuff. I don't recall the name off hand at the moment, but it's a privacy-focused company, at least that's what they advertise it as. Let's hope it turns out okay LOL
I actually listened to a podcast a few weeks ago with Danny Jones and he was talking to a dude who breaks the scammers in India stuff, it was pretty fascinating. A lot of the people in those call centers are normal people just trying to survive, while some are pieces of shit.
Hopefully you're using a VPN connecting to random wifi!
Actually there was an article here last week that someone introduced legislation to ban the use of VPN's in my state, along with a couple other things on the list that I can't recall right off hand. Makes you wonder why they are so concerned with that. You'd think they have better things to do.
Lol fuck whoever is trying to be a bitch and do that. There are always horse shit excuses, like banning of porn for young kids!! But in order to do that, everyone has to scan their ID to use the internet! It's for your safety, people, trust me! Don't look at China, no no no!
