Notes

gollark: Can I just buy *one* SIM card and have that validate me as human forever, or does the service also get to store a unique user identifier for me (no)?
gollark: Depends exactly how this works, since it's underspecified.
gollark: Probably the humans.
gollark: I mean, if it's just "you have a SIM card → you are a human", they will just do that.
gollark: You can... buy SIM cards, though?
