Patriot,

Despite leftists shrieking endlessly that laws requiring a simple
ID card to vote are "racist," beginning this summer the IRS will
require a facial recognition selfie, among other things, in order
to create or access online accounts with the agency.

If you already have an online account with the IRS, it will stop
working unless you create a new account through a private company
called "ID.me," which requires applicants to supply a great deal
more information than typically requested for online verification
schemes, such as scans of your ID, copies of utility or insurance
bills, your social security number, credit history, and details
about your mobile phone service.

You'll also be required to take a live selfie with your phone or
webcam that the company will check against the photo on your ID,
and if that doesn't work, ID.me may require a recorded, live
video chat with you.

You'll be required to provide your phone number, and
voice-over-IP services like Skype won't be accepted.

As if this massive invasion of your privacy was not enough,
according to the shady company's privacy policy, ID.me can share
its data with law enforcement and "select partners" (which is so
vague as to mean basically anyone). They will retain your
personal data for up to 7 years.

We know many state driver license databases are already being
used for facial recognition, but this is a massive expansion
beyond that.

The IRS is using a private company to amass a huge database of
our biometric and personal information, without any realistic way
to opt out.

This is all ostensibly to prevent identity theft - but this could
very well become a major cause of identity theft, given the
government's long and embarrassing history of mishandling
sensitive personal information of citizens.

Remember in 2020 when the federal government admitted to having
suffered the worst cyber-espionage breach ever, in which hackers
had penetrated thousands of organizations, including the U.S.
Treasury Department (IRS), the Administrative Office of U.S.
Courts (court documents, including sealed case files), the
Department of Health and Human Services, the National Nuclear
Security Administration, the NSA, emails of top officials at the
Department of Homeland Security, and hundreds of other
organizations?

In that attack, hackers had access to some of the most sensitive
documents in the world for eight full months before being
discovered.

The idea that forcing American taxpayers to surrender sensitive
personal information, including biometric image maps of our
faces, will somehow keep us safe is beyond laughable.

This is a profoundly dangerous policy, and the real reason for it
is clear. Harvesting the sensitive personal information of the
American people is its own goal.

The IRS' new scheme to capture of all of your sensitive personal
information through ID.me isn't just a massive invasion of our
privacy and a serious security hazard. . .

It's also a nightmare for every American forced to use this
system just to go through the process.

Brian Krebs, the journalist who broke the story, described his
attempt to enroll in ID.me.

Krebs' application became stuck at the "Confirming your Phone"
stage - which led to a video chat (and having to resubmit other
information) which had an estimated wait time of 3 hours and 27
minutes.

This will all be necessary if you want to pay your taxes online.


But remember folks, "voter ID laws are racist!"

It's a farce. It's all an outrage. And it's long overdue that the
American people DEMAND Congress protect our privacy.

Thanks for all that you do for Liberty,

P.S. The I.R.S. policy will take effect by this summer unless we
can get Congress to act.

You and I must demand that Congress shut down the latest
government invasion of our privacy . . . and program that puts
even more of our personal information at risk.

TELL CONGRESS NOW: Stop the IRS' Massive Biometric Data Blitz,
and pass this on to encourage others to do the same!
