Re: Time for IETF witch hunt?

* Nicolas Bourbaki:

In July of 2013 JFC Morfin registered an appeal [1] to the IAB (IETF governing body). He asked the IAB to consider how the concept of a protocol should account for social and ethical requirements.

What does this even mean? Capabilities to protect local community standards (the “social” part), and cryptography that cannot be misused to harm the Internet (the “ethical” part)? In short, filters and backdoors?
