ICANN has encouraged new constituencies to get involved in the GNSO. Now it
has got what it asked for. This month, Cheryl Preston filed a petition with
ICANN to form a new “Cyber-safety Constituency.”

It turns out that this constituency is nothing more than an extension of
the CP80 Foundation. CP80 is devoted to systematic, global censorship of
internet content in order to eradicate pornography. Backed by Mormon
religious activists based on Utah, the group frames its attempt to regulate
internet content with talk of “protecting children online.” But it’s
not just children’s Internet access they are targeting; it’s all of us.
