minus-square@skozziilink14•edit-225 days agoSeems like if the carrier just gave a new sim card to a scammer without verifying they should be on the hook for the bill? Seems like a bad ruling, but I need more info than the article provides. A new sim card should only be obtainable in store with valid ID.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•24 days agoI think the complex question is how much liability should be taking on for this sort of thing. Theoretically the losses could be massive if a rich person gets scammed… Is the liability unlimited?
