privacy and marketing concerns,

not undercut individuals’
efforts to maintain anonymity on the Internet,
-
not attempt to regulate adult
behavior such as online gambling,
-
reject attempts to impose new
restrictions on encryption and new surveillance on American citizens,
-
avoid replacing true diversity
and democracy on the Internet with politically motivated "Internet
commons" or "public spaces,"
-
avoid online protectionism by
refusing to allow incumbent businesspeople to
undercut electronic trade on the Internet,
-
avoid imposing burdensome and
unconstitutional tax collection schemes on the Internet.
- phase out compulsory licensing for all communications content industries,
