I don't think you're being paranoid at all. I won't go into them all, but there are a whole raft of government-inspired initiatives which libertarian groups have complained of as being potentially intrusive of personal liberty. The last thing we want now is for private companies to go blundering ahead with developments in new technology without any concern as to their potentially repressive use.
