I saw some threads here about Telegram and piracy stuff being banned. So, as an experimental alternative, I created a public Signal group for piracy.

Maybe it'll be useful?

Before joining

Signal supports usernames and hiding telephone numbers. Here's a blog entry on how to do so. You might want to:

set a username
change your profile name (these are two separate things!)
hide your phone number

You also don't need to show any ID for a business to meet "know-your-customer" regulations. Can you get a phone number without revealing your identity?

That depends on your OPSEC

Isn't the same true in the EU, then?

Only if you don't have to show your ID to get a number

That depends on your OPSEC.

In countries where you MUST show your proof of identity to get a number, pray tell me what kind of OPSEC can you employ to not do that?

Travel across the border where you can? Ask a friend abroad to send you a SIM card? Maybe even find a service to buy a SIM from?
