Egypt government downplays unknown lines
The article focused on the announcement by the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority in Egypt regarding the re-activation of the inquiry service for mobile phone numbers registered in users' names. This initiative aims to allow citizens to review the data associated with their personal numbers and to identify unknown lines. The authority emphasized that registering a line under another person's name does not exempt them from legal responsibility for its use; accountability depends on actual possession and awareness. These measures come in response to the case of student Amr Amara, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for a drug trafficking case based on a phone number registered in his name, without his knowledge or consent—highlighting the legal sensitivities involved. Experts stress the importance of verifying user identities and ensuring accurate registration procedures to prevent misuse and establish true accountability. The authority is working on developing regulatory controls, increasing oversight of telecom companies, and implementing biometric verification systems to ensure the security and transparency of users' data.
