Australia gov wants telco Optus to pay for new pas...
Why do they keep it after opening your account / activating your SIM, though?

Because they're irresponsible. There's no reason to hang on to this information once they've verified it.

That’s incorrect. They are obligated by law to retain it for 6-7 years for KYC purposes.

KYC for a gd phone number... honestly the whole attacks on E2EE make a lot more sense now with the background of that kinda shady stuff going on beforehand. praying for y'all, hope the digital rights situation gets better there.
