Bud, are you okay? I mean this genuinely I’m used to people on this site being overly cautious, but you keep responding with massive paragraphs of text to people giving you real and good advice.
A cheap AF burner phone fulfills all your needs. You have the physical phone that they can text or call, and if your number ever gets leaked or you want a new one, you just throw it away and get a new one. Society has centralized around telephones for longer than you or I have been alive. Simply refusing to engage in such a strong societal norm doesn’t fix anything. 99.99999% of people are perfectly fine functioning around their phone, so it’s really either find a compromise, such as one of the ones proposed already, or fall behind.
They’re in horrible legal ground. What they did was illegal (though not necessarily wrong), but now they’re risking dying on this hill, which will cause people to lose a valuable service. They need to surrender the hill before it’s too late, if it’s not too late already
