I was thinking about this more and realized an important point I forgot to mention in my last email: social media companies can’t even safeguard the private information millions of Americans already fork over – like emails and passwords. What makes anyone think they would be able to protect our biometric data?
What’s even scarier though is our adversaries, like China, would have access to this data. And we all know they refuse to do what’s in the best interest of freedom and liberty.

You know what’s scary, friend?
President Obama has a suggestion for dealing with so-called “misinformation” (or what I like to call having a conservative opinion). He wants each and every one of us to submit our fingerprints – our own, unique biometric data – to social media companies.
Friend, this is antithetical to everything America stands for.
The First Amendment protects free speech, meaning you have a right to express your thoughts and opinions, even if they go against the chosen narrative.
…If you want to question the origins of COVID, you have that right.
…If you want to point out flaws in the arguments surrounding lockdowns and mandates, you can do that.
…If you choose to question politicians’ decisions that negatively impact you and your family, you’re more than welcome to.
The government should NOT be utilizing private businesses to shut down constitutionally-protected speech – and these Big Tech companies sure as heck don’t need our biometric data.
This is the very definition of Orwellian tactics, friend.
