Greg Maxwell u/nullc just submitted comments opposing the FCC's proposed mandatory telecom KYC, and Bitcoiners should pay attention.

His argument isn't really about phones but about a broader trend toward mandatory identification everywhere. Once anonymous access disappears, every data breach becomes a target list, every privacy-conscious person becomes suspicious, and using Bitcoin itself can become a red flag.

The people hurt most are ordinary users, journalists, activists, and anyone who values privacy. Meanwhile, criminals simply adapt using stolen identities and compromised accounts.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's about reducing attack surfaces and protecting personal sovereignty. Worth the read:
