Wired News: Domain Owners Lose Privacy:

"The U.S. Commerce Department has ordered companies that administer internet addresses to stop allowing customers to register .us domain names anonymously using proxy services.

The move does not affect owners of .com and .net domains. But it means website owners with .us domains will no longer be able to shield their name and contact information from public eyes."

Granted, this does not indicate an exclusion of opportunity to speak out, but given the wide discussion taking place on around the net right now about where and how free speech can be limited, it's worth being aware of steps that regulatory agencies are actively taking, even the seemingly minor ones.
