same in germany. fortunately there are services like digitalcourage where you send your card and get another random
back - easy to deflect the legal issues you‘ll be confronted with because it’s not illegal to exchange.
Why has this loophole not been closed? It seems really easy to ban exchanging personal SIMs.
Mexico already tried something like this in 2008 IIRC, and it was aborted because the database was leaked and sold for like 20-30 USD a copy. That database empowered fraudsters then, and I fear this new one, having recent biometric data, would be even worse if passed, as our government is an even less capable digital steward now. If this law gets enforced, an loophole like the one DigitalCourage uses would be closed quickly.
