pros

GEO + ASN

condition 2

Apple ID

condition 3

device

common SIM mistakes that kill farms

1

SIM geo ≠ IP geo

using SIM for geo but IP doesn't match

2

Reusing SIMs across devices

one SIM = one device. reuse links the farm.

3

Mixed GEO signals

SIM geo vs proxy geo — TikTok sees both. conflict = flag.

4

Assuming SIM = trust

SIM does not signal trust to TikTok. IP does.

SIM mismatches accelerate flags.

chapter 03 — done.

SIM is a distraction.
IP is the signal.
