ICANN Calls For DNSSEC Deployment For All Unsecured Domains Following Domain Hijacking Attempts
Following increasing reports of malicious activity targeting the DNS infrastructure, ICANN is calling for full deployment of the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) across all unsecured domain names. The organisation also reaffirms its commitment to engage in collaborative efforts to ensure the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's global identifier systems.
As one of many entities engaged in the decentralised management of the Internet, ICANN is specifically responsible for coordinating the top-most level of the DNS to ensure its stable and secure operation and universal resolvability.
On 15 February 2019, in response to reports of attacks against key parts of the DNS infrastructure, ICANN offered a checklist of recommended security precautions for members of the domain name industry, registries, registrars, resellers, and related others, to proactively take to protect their systems, their customers' systems and information reachable via the DNS.

Does this prevent GoDaddy from seizing a domain name just because they don't like you?

Dunno but I do know that not doing business with GoDaddy does.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

It doesn't prevent the registrar from taking your domain. But there is a process to take your domain back or to transfer them to another registrar. You can also sue GoDaddy. You can try small claims.
