Freedom from the Government Act of 2022 - Azonia

Rationale

The current government collection of biometric data of Azonians should frighten and concern us all. All Azonians' privacies and liberties should be not only respected but aggressively protected. This proposal is a modified version of the Paleolibertarian Alliance's from 2021.

Congress United

No

“Absolutely not. I reject this proposal completely. Azonians’ privacy and civil liberties are not bargaining chips for the government to control. We should be taking power away from intrusive systems, not creating new ones and pretending they are harmless because they are “voluntary.” I will oppose this proposal at every step and vote NO.”
