CP80's Cheryl Preston Suggests "CyberSecurity" Group At ICANN

Beezlebub33 writes "A new petition has been filed under the GSNO (Generic Names Supporting Organization) of ICANN to create a new constituency the CyberSafety Constituency. Existing constituencies include 'Commercial and Business,' 'gTLD,' 'Registrars,' 'Non-commercial,' etc. The new proposed one on CyberSafety is in the 'interest of balancing free speech and anonymity with the values of protection and safety in developing Internet policy within ICANN.' If that doesn't raise red flags all by itself, consider that the person submitting it is Cheryl B. Preston. She's listed in the petition with the organization Brigham Young University, but she's part of CP80. She's suggested limiting content on port 80 to the 'right' things, and other stuff can go on other ports, so it can be appropriately filtered by the authorities. Guess who gets to decide what goes on which ports?"

Re:Honestly, I'm not threatened.

Social conservatives keep demanding laws to regulate everyone because their usual tools of ostracism and shame are only effective within their own communities.

Don't look now, but fiscal liberals keep spending my money. And my future childrens' money, and their childrens' money. And they keep trying to force me to spend, Spend, SPEND my way out of economic crisis! And what I don't spend freely, they'll find a way to take.

I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't part of their population control policy, where they provide me with an incentive not to reproduce, simply for the purpose of fucking the gov't.

Now, I'll admit I'm a social conservative. I'm also ardently Libertarian. The government has no place regulating every little thing. Don't assume that the squeaky wheel represents the views of anything close to a simple majority. Unfortunately, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

As an aside, has anyone seen any as-seen-on-TV type devices designed to keep liberal hands out of my pockets? If so, please let me know.
