    Okay surely there is some kind of business plan where your data can be poisoned. Probably lots of them.

    Off the top of my head –

    You register a SIM in a cheap phone but not a burner – using your own name, credit card, etc. You send it to (company). They put the phone and a few random others in a car/bicycle basket/truck. Retrieve a week later, compensate the driver, re-randomize, repeat.

    Maybe you register a debit card or low-limit credit card, and send it in. The company’s driver/bicyclist/trucker occasionally buys ~$5 in small items at convenience stores: candy, a coffee, etc. Top up an extra $X/mo to keep the random txns flowing.

    I’m sure people will think of more. I’m sure there is some price point that makes sense for some potential customers. People who really really want to throw USA off their trail, criminals, privacy nuts, libertarians, Linux users, etc
