Dear Supporters,

Recent events continue to prove the danger of forcing citizens to hand over personal data in the name of “safety.”

A major breach involving Crunchyroll has reportedly exposed sensitive customer information through a compromised third-party service provider in India. Thousands of users now face the risk of having their credit card and personal data stolen—not because they chose to take a risk, but because their data was collected, stored, and entrusted to external systems beyond their control.

This is exactly the danger we have been warning about.

When governments and corporations push for mandatory identity verification, they are not creating safety—they are creating massive centralized targets for hackers. Every new database of personal information becomes a liability, not a protection.

At the same time, it has been revealed that the U.S. government is purchasing large amounts of citizen data from third-party data brokers—information they claim is “public.”

But this raises a critical question:

If this data is truly public, why is it being purchased with taxpayer dollars?

The answer is clear:

This system allows agencies to bypass constitutional safeguards, accessing detailed personal data without warrants by outsourcing surveillance to private companies.

This creates a dangerous feedback loop:

• Corporations collect and sell your data
• Governments purchase and analyze it
• Citizens are monitored without consent or due process

And now, under proposed age-verification laws, even more data would be required—expanding this system further.

The result is a digital environment where:

• Your identity is required to speak
• Your data is stored and sold
• Your activity can be tracked without a warrant
• And your exposure to breaches increases exponentially

This is not protection.

It is systemic vulnerability combined with expanding surveillance.

The breach involving Crunchyroll is not an isolated incident—it is a warning.

The government purchasing citizen data is not transparency—it is circumvention.

These developments reinforce exactly why the Digital Liberty Act is necessary.

We must:

• Protect citizens from forced data collection
• Prevent mass identity databases
• Restore privacy as a natural right
• Ensure lawful oversight, not backdoor surveillance

If you have not already, sign the petition.

Contact your lawmakers.

Demand accountability before more data is exposed and more rights are eroded.

The risk is no longer theoretical.

It is happening now.
