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😅😅😅)

Gotcha
Internet is somewhat restricted but only the most common sites are blocked
Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID, same with Internet or a SIM card
Transportation there’s no ID requirements on buses and trains
Does the landlord register the people that rent the place?
How common is someone selling preregistered sim cards?
You can buy Romanian cards on eBay , Vodafone works fine in Spain
Depends on the landlord - some are dodgy and won’t register you because they don’t declare the income
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/normallyAt 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.
