As far as the technical side goes, almost all exchanges are fully digital and computer-managed nowadays, which means everything leaves a digital footprint through system logs. If there were ever a legal dispute, those logs could be subpoenaed and reviewed by the court without any issues. Falsifying those logs is virtually impossible without getting caught immediately, and frankly, telecom companies aren't in the business of messing around with stuff like that.
Anyway, this whole thing has nothing to do with politics.
I think you might be slightly off on that point. Even with all this advanced digital technology, it is still possible to bypass logs and manipulate the system... For instance, in the mobile network, someone could manually alter an IMSI number at the exchange level, giving you plenty of room to play games if you get a bill you don't like. Of course, that only works if you happen to have some powerful connection with someone working at AT&T or Verizon 😁, provided they are "well-placed" enough to pull it off.
