Sorry to say that, but this is 'ur-fascism' at its best.

The difference here is that the nazi's pre-condemned anyone who were of a give ethnic background(jews) or believe (communists).

Unlike them, you are praying that the society condemn over prejudice, people based on their past behavior, placing a star on their chest and denying them basic rights, which may start with "innocent" rights like these being taken from them.

You can only punish people when a considered criminal activity occurs, never assuming someone have ill intentions over their past behavior and therefore should be denied the rights of whatever is being negotiated.

Don't forget either that with such laws and ethical triggers in place governments, companies and individuals might just game the system and threat someone by forcing him into prison for bogus reason destroying his life even after he is free. (And how can we call this dystopian reality freedom?)

BTW The Sunde prison is exactly this case, but there are even more proeminent cases as Assange or Snowden.

Your are talking only about ICANN here of course, but the core of the issue you are defending here will inevitable lead to the consequences i'm exposing above.
