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😅😅😅)

~~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.

Countries like the Czech Republic still offer anonymous SIM cards. Though we do have a telecommunication cartel here.
