I believe the same is true in the US.
It is not. You do not show any ID to get a 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?
