The newly enacted Mask Transparency Act in Nassau County prohibits wearing masks to hide one's identity, notably citing public safety concerns amid recent protests.
Critics argue the ban prioritizes political agendas over the rights of residents, stating it could lead to doxxing and discourage free expression.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman emphasized the need for accountability, asserting that masks should not be used to hide criminal behavior.
The NYCLU contends that the legislation undermines efforts to protect public health, particularly for those vulnerable to COVID-19.
