"Beware of Communists bearing internet governance proposal"
Vergil's original statement was "I fear the Greeks, even when they come bearing gifts", implying that despite the gifts being something to be desired (sweeteners), the Greeks were to be feared. This implies the reverse - that the gifts themselves are to be feared (and they are). However, in the recent UK DCMS proposal 'Data A new direction' paragraphs 212-215 suggest that HM Gov. is contemplating communications content monitoring to combat 'Nuisance and fraudulent calls'.
I think we should remember that US President James Madison (1751-1836) said: "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ... The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home..If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
