Are you, like me, a bit confused by this? Is there really a need for a dot-xxx suffix? Think about it? The new domain will simply be an extension of existing dot-com domains.. which by the way will still exist and still contain objectionable "material". The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is not a policing agency and will not force existing pornographic dot-com domains to convert to the new dot-xxx suffixes.The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on Friday agreed to move forward on a long-standing proposal from a Florida company to create a specialized dot-xxx suffix for adult entertainment Web sites. But the plan upset much of the adult entertainment industry. It joined hands with religious groups in lobbying against it, arguing that the new domains would lead to regulation and marginalization.
So I have to ask - what is the point? Anyone have a clue? Should I do kansasbob.xxx?
If we are going to allow pornographic websites and not censor them in any manner, then I don't get why everyone is getting "exercised" over .XXX? If we allow them, what does it matter what they call themselves or address themselves? Is it because haveagoodtime.com is more sanitized towards our winking at them than haveagoodtime.xxx? Will the .XXX force us to "see" the realization of wickedness?
ReplyDeleteI for one don't care what they call themselves if we are going to allow them to exist. Why don't we do the right thing and declare them pornographic, immoral, filthy, degenerate and outlaw them under decency laws?
Look a rose by any other name is still a .XXXX
Right on Gregg. A rose by any other name is still a .XXXX
ReplyDeleteHow about if we make all the xxx people design their own Internet so our children will be safe from looking at porn and becoming vulnerable to sexual addiction and who knows what else? Its too accessible. You have to check a box that says your over 18 to look at it, what 8 year old wouldn't go ahead and check that box?
ReplyDeleteSorry a bit off topic here.
I think it is a way to help government workers more easily find the material the look for.
