I can’t believe how actually convenient it is to get a new eSIM while traveling

I wonder whether there are any privacy differences between an eSIM, and an actual SIM?
It's probably easier to determine who bought the eSIM for 3-letters agencies.
esims are less private I believe
Why?
In some countries you're able to buy a SIM card without providing your personal info, and you can reload them using prepaid card that you can buy cash at the store, making it harder to identify the actual user.
You cant just remove sim card from esim :D

Who?
I know you from the LBRY community podcast and I did not know you were on Lemmy :)
