Are children more protected from the devastation of porn that they were six months ago? The answer is a resounding “no.” The advocates of the domain .XXX sold the world a lie when, last year, they convinced ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to provide to pornographers their own domain – right alongside domains like .com, .org or .net.
When the idea for creating the .XXX domain was first discussed it was thought that pornographers would be required to solely use .XXX; thus allowing parents to more easily place filters to stop porn. But ICANN announced early on that pornographers would be allowed to keep their .com or .net addresses.
Rather than providing an opportunity for parents to more easily keep porn and their children separated, the porn industry has been handed another “store front” from which to peddle their perversion. No one should be surprised that the porn industry is back requesting from ICANN yet more domains; this time .Porn, .Sex and .Adult.
