That already happened as a result of Equifax. Your SSN is no longer secret...so rejoice, you are free to choose whatever phone you like!

Sadly, the world is not America and most people on this planet are unaffected by the latest problems of America.

Like 95% of the world, I don’t have an SSN.

Even if every American owns one of those outdated Android phones, 2/3rds of the phones would still have to be owned by people who don’t have SSNs.
