Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Barely a few months into SIM registration, dami na nila nahuhuli nagbebenta ng pre-registered cards. That was enough proof to call this whole "It WiLl sToP cRiMeS" rationale as pure BS.
Edit: This guy got caught in Sept 2022... or about 3 months before sim registration even started!
Illegal seller of SIM cards nabbed
This will lead to a massive power-tripping from govt agencies that I hope our telcos will fight, if that happens.
Also, SIM registration will never be a solution to eradicate scammers, but fuck it. This is mandatory.
Yeah. I never believed it'll stop or even minimize cyber crimes. Other countries have it in one form or another and failed.
