Pinephone IMEI changing info: do you think its OK for a Wiki?
#14
The information is not illegal, but a warning is warranted that it may be illegal and users should seek legal advice as well as warning about voided warranties etc.
Cover it with warnings and then allow to be published.
warnings
1- only using the IMEI of a device you own
2- it may be illegal in your jurisdiction
3- it might cause your phone to be disabled and permanently removed from the network(heh, then IMEI hack it again!)
4- what else??

since we are warning people
5- no murder
6- no stealing
7- no comitting crimes /s
etc

This is a powerful tool but most pinephone users are, almost have to be, the top few .01% of users and almost already have to understand what the IMEI change does.
Let's not pretend that pine64 stuff is consumer electronics, this is hard bleeding edge hacker toys, just publish it already.
override the ban
