Sample letter
Dear Chairman Luke Clippinger and Esteemed Members of the Judiciary Committee,
I am writing to express my strong support for the Distribution of Obscene Material to Minors and Age Verification Information bill, which seeks to hold commercial entities accountable for exposing minors to obscene material online while also protecting user privacy in the age verification process.
In today’s digital age, minors have unprecedented access to online content, some of which is highly inappropriate and harmful to their development. This bill takes necessary steps to ensure that commercial entities distributing obscene material implement proper safeguards to prevent minors from accessing such content. Furthermore, it wisely balances security and privacy by prohibiting third-party entities from retaining personal information gathered during age verification, reducing the risk of data misuse or breaches.
By supporting this bill, the legislature can reinforce responsible digital practices, protect young users from harmful exposure, and uphold privacy rights for all individuals. I urge the committee to advance this important legislation for the safety and well-being of our communities.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
