Identity databases will be breached

To: Gov. Hochul, Sen. May, Assembly Member Magnarelli

From: A verified voter in Syracuse, NY

May 18

I oppose legislation that mandates online age verification. Large databases of government IDs and biometric data inevitably become targets for hackers. Numerous identity platforms have already suffered serious breaches exposing sensitive personal information. No system that aggregates this volume of identification data can be considered completely secure. Once stolen, biometric identifiers cannot be replaced. Creating new centralized identity repositories invites preventable harm to millions of ordinary citizens. Please vote against these proposals.
