I don't know if they still do it, but some mobile internet providers in the UK would filter things out unless you sent them your ID to unblock it.
Not sure it's a great solution, but better than having to provide your ID to every random website out there.
Having to provide Id to any entity to access internet pages is dystopian and fucked up, sounds just like the UK.
Not that the USA is better at all
I think it's mostly because it's a SIM only thing and anyone can send off for one.
