The US government should not require biometric data and a Social Security number to make freedom of information requests or access records disclosed under it!
https://civic-texts.ghost.io/governments-shouldnt-require-biometric-information-make-foi-requuss/ A Fedscoop reporter asked me about the IRS using ID.me for its FOIA software.

FOIA.gov exists for a reason.
