At least where I live there are laws to collect this info. Is it not regulated in Murica?
This just dosent make ANY sense. Sim swaps are done via social engeneering.
If they wanted to be private, it would be Open source.
Since when do people send 2fa codes via voicemail? The fuck? Just use signal.
Me smell honey
Also, they DO collect your Credit card data. Not they themselves, but Stripe. So Stripe knows every detail about you.
The coverage is only in America, I guess it doesn't need to be collected over there
They use Digital Signatures instead of usernames and passwords. Cape employees don't port out numbers and only you can with a 24 word seedphrase you can read more about it here so I guess they are more secure compared to others.
This has to be a joke, what do you mean "just use signal" and "open source" ???
Stripe handles the actual card details, while Cape only receives the token, which cannot be mapped to your real credit card number. Stripe generates a token that is stored on cape's systems to confirm a payment has been made. Cape does not store your credit card number. Cape does not associate tokens to subscribers
Good thing the founding financiers of Stripe, Cape, and Palantir aren't the same person.
