Hey-ho, privacy enthusiasts

I’m currently traveling around the world, and thinking about staying in Europe for 5ish years

But i’m a tinfoil guy and aware of the “many eyed beast”

So, what do you think? All lies and everything is actually dystopian, or everything should be fine?

I’m actually thinking about 4 countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece (because don’t like cold, and actually a little bit sick of other countries in the EU😅😅😅)

    Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID

    Does the landlord register the people that rent the place?

    or a SIM card

    How common is someone selling preregistered sim cards?

      I don’t think you can a sim card anonymously in europe. You might be able to find some online, though I have no idea:

      - how legal they are

      - if they function at all/normally

      At least in my country ( which isn’t one you listed ) you cannot buy an anonymous SIM card in shops due to some anti terrorism law ( iirc ).

      I thought it was like that for the whole of Europe, but I could be wrong.

      Apparently there are still EU countries where you can buy anonymous SIMs.

      Depends on the landlord - some are dodgy and won’t register you because they don’t declare the income
