Globe, 정부에 SIM 등록 기간 연장을 요청

Listen to article

4월 26일 마감일까지 2주도 채 남지 않은 상황에서, Globe는 정부에 SIM 등록 절차를 연장해 사용자가 SIM 비활성화를 피할 수 있도록 요청하고 있습니다.

통신사 발표에 따르면, Globe는 낮은 등록률이 “주로 유효한 정부 신분증 부족과 디지털 리터러시 부족” 때문이라고 말했습니다.

Globe에 따르면, 4월 11일 현재 네트워크에 약 2,785만 명의 가입자를 등록했습니다. 이는 전체 가입자 기반의 약 32%에 해당하지만, 전체 등록자의 50%에도 아직 미치지 못합니다.

To strengthen SIM registration efforts, Globe recommends three measures. First, they call on the government to allow for alternative forms of identification (IDs); Second, they appeal for conditional registration to be allowed as customers process their valid IDs; Lastly, they ask for the government to create always-on government-handled assisted registration centers in government offices.

Globe emphasized that failure to register SIMs would result in deactivation and would be disruptive to their customers, as their
basic right to communication would be curtailed. They mentioned how deactivation would impact several aspects of Globe customers' daily life such as banking, e-commerce, transportation (ride-hailing apps, food delivery, etc), healthcare, education (online learning), entertainment, and more.

As of today, no announcement of extension for the SIM registration has been announced.

A law is a LAW and is not meant to be broken. Deactivating unregistered SIM cards is the only way for them to comply with the LAW.

This sham needs to be scrapped it will solve nothing it won’t stop scams / spamming as majority of these activities are done on internet based apps / website and most of all government has been misleading people about it’s reasons

It is also a violation of people’s right of privacy as now people are easily linked to everything even innocent internet activities this benefits government especially politicians who don’t like criticism this benefits agencies like BIR to target online sellers bloggers and freelancers and most of all it’s an added risk of our personal data being leaked / hacked

And by deactivating people from service who choose to respect their privacy is also a violation of people’s rights
