Not their job. A phone number is not a general ID or a security token. It is just a short number made up by a phone company for the purpose of using that company to call or text. If other companies or people try to use it for something different that is their stupid problem.https://twitter.com/mat/status/1167605500919173120 …

From the FCC - they are not protecting customer data, which they are by law/regulation required to do. You are supposed to show government issued ID when presented personal information of a customer - SIM Swaps either get around that, or are coercing employees (mostly kiosks).pic.twitter.com/biak8dfQPR
Laws and regulation don't trump the reality of how security works. If a law requires a food company to send their bread to the moon to be blessed by moon beams for a week before can they sell it in stores, either the food company will break the law or you won't get any bread.

Either way, no law however badly you want it or how strongly it is enforced it is going to help you get a loaf of bread blessed by moon beams that costs less than its multi-million dollar ride to and from the moon.

Then how are moon pies so cheap?

Agreed - but that means that it IS the job of the provider to protect user data, as they (the companies we are discussing) fall under FCC regulations and have to fall in line with U.S. law. How can we argue that it is not their job?

It’s your job. You pay for what you get. Or you suggest to them that’s not what you want. Consumers have the power not your gov or the company. They exist for us. Once you see it that way we can move forward.
