Junk Sim Registration Network: International studies have stated that SIM registration does not actually stop promulgation of scams and crimes.

Junk Sim Registration Network: Now the government is saying, “Give your phone number to us, give your phone number to the telcos.” [This will] open up to privacy leaks as we’ve seen just recently.

Why file the TRO only now?

Junk Sim Registration Network says it has been working on this for a few months to get the views of multiple sector.

What happens if the SC rejects the TRO?

Junk Sim Registration Network says it plans to protest in a few hours in front of the DICT headquarters.

Junk Sim Registration Network: We hope to pressure DICT in the next few days to ensure that they are in touch with the demand of the people and to consider the request of the telcos to extend [the deadline] or even stop the implementation of the law.
