Well, it’s official. The Internet Corporation for Assigned names and Numbers (ICANN) has taken the .xxx domain live to join other Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .org, .com and .edu.
The .xxx domain is a voluntary domain that is dedicated to pornography. It’s voluntary today, but there are those who fear it may become mandatory tomorrow.
Of course having all pornographic sites under a common TLD makes it very easy to filter out or censor such sites.
So what do you folks think? A potential threat to freedom of speech or a welcome means of protecting children from inappropriate internet sites?
Personally, I think it’s a great idea and the sooner it’s made mandatory the better.
If you, as an adult, want to go the pornography route, that’s up to you, but I think it’s reasonable for schools and parents to be able to easily prevent access to such sites by minors in their charge.
