ICANN delays .xxx approval

[thedoubles]

I don't understand why they won't approve this. It will carve out a section of the net that is used explicitly for porn, so it can be kept out of kiddies' searches and blocked. Therefore only adults will have access to it, which I imagine would be the goal.

Why not carve out an area used explicitly for kids? They’re easier to control than pornographers are.

Oh and why not kick every lame ass'd parent that doesn't monitor their chills online activities in the face as well!

.xxx is about money and not children - period!

"Anti-porn advocates, however, countered that sites would be free to keep their current ".com" address, in effect making porn more easily accessible by creating yet another channel to house it."

LMAO!

Btw, am I the only one to notice this?

The board decided to seek changes to a proposed contract with ICM Registry Inc., the Jupiter, Fla., that would run the domain name for voluntary use by the adult entertainment industry. No details were immediately available on the changes sought.

As in Jupiter Hosting ... hmmmmmm.

The plot thickens.
