Немножко разжевываю этот момент с симками, он не то чтобы очевиден:

Thanks. Yeah, this one is a popular reason. My point is that this category of arguments for implementing phone-based verification stopped working recently: an AI agent today, in an extreme case, can hire humans to buy it a bag of SIMs, in order to help with the spamming campaign, if that's really worth doing to a spammer. These AI bots can, for example, implement a porn website that enables premium videos for free for a limited period of time, for those who fill in some phone + temporary SMS code (which will end up in creating a user profile in Signal without realizing it).

There's an elegant approach for spam available in SimpleX, for example, which works and doesn't require a phone number: users don't have public profile ids at all; they can add somebody by a privately or publicly shared link that the other contact provided them and which can be revoked at any moment.
