Many fundamental human rights are built on top of the right to privacy and privacy is a manifestation of fundamental rights, such as the right to self preservation, autonomy and free will.
So what is privacy?
Privacy: A state of having freedom from being observed by others and having space to oneself if one chooses.
Both humans and animals have a "personal space bubble", if someone is crossing these boundaries we feel violated, and our dignity/self respect, autonomy, and free will to choose our own path in life (our right to self determination) is then violated.
This personal space bubble extends to much further than a person being too physically close to us without our agreement, it can also be a person who is crossing our boundaries using their eyes and attention. For example by looking into our home from the windows when we have not agreed to it for example, or some one looking into our lives through our digital devices
Maintaining our natural personal space boundaries physically and with regards to attention and information such as surveillance, is privacy.
You do not have to have something illegal to hide or be a criminal to want privacy. In fact, if you do not actively fight to keep privacy a part of law then corporations and governments will love to take it away from you because it gives them more power, control, and money if you do not have it.
Reasons to use an unregistered SIM card:
1)You do not want your swish number to be connected to your registered number linked to your personal-number
2) You are unable to register your SIM card because you do not have the papers and documents necessary for registration
3) You do not want your email to be connected to your registered phone number linked to your personal-number
4) You need to receive SMS verification when signing up for email, websites, apps, and other services or for 2 factor authentication, but do not want to give away your identity and the personal-number tied to it
(note that it is not in our control if google services allow our phone numbers to be used for verification)
5) You want to be able to research and access real news and information that is not accepted by the mainstream politics at the time, such as by using telegram without giving away your registered phone number tied to your real identity
6) You want to express your freedom of speech online without the fear of government and corporate surveillance
7) If you are in a situation that requires the ability to communicate anonymously.
For example, women’s shelters across Sweden have been critical of the SIM card laws. This is because in the past they would advise women to use prepaid unregistered SIM cards in order to remain hidden and protected. Now with the new law, it leaves women who seek out help and who are exposed to threat and are in hiding and protection be at risk because their identity and location are exposed through their registered SIM cards.1
8) It is your right to communicate privately with others without the government and corporations spying on you for their own benefit at your expense
9) If you are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, then you have to uphold a separation between what you can show privately and publicly, and a separation between your private life and public life, and therefore if the government is the one who can choose to enter your digital devices at any moment, and hear and see your private life (due to knowing your identity tied to your phone numbers) then that does not give you the ability to choose and uphold that boundary in order to protect yourself and your families
10)You want to keep privacy a part of society in order to limit government and corporate power over the individual
In 2022 the Swedish government made registering prepaid SIM cards mandatory, before that time there was some digital privacy.
All used Swedish numbers from that point on became tied to a personal identity number, address, and name, and therefore removed any privacy.
Additionally, as of October 1, 2023, a new law passed in Sweden which gave police and prosecutors the right to secret surveillance in the form of wiretapping (avlyssning) and spying using electronic devices of any individuals who are not suspected of a crime.
Their justification for this new law change is that wiretapping is to be used in order to find who has committed a crime even if there are no suspects. This means that even if there is not a crime committed before the wiretapping is done they are allowed to wiretap an individual and any contacts that that individual has in order to find out if a crime is being attempted or being prepared to be committed, even if there is no crime being prepared or committed.
This new law change is found in paragraph 18b in the 27th chapter of the procedural code (rättegångsbalken : RB 27:18b).
The instinctive need for privacy meant that we had a problem to solve and this is our solution.
We offer you the ability to buy a prepraid SIM card that you can use in Sweden and Europe with no registration. You can even buy our prepaid SIM card using Cryptocurrency and Cash for maximum privacy.
