The .XXX Saga Continues in Wellington

netrover writes "CircleID is reporting on the latest developments on the .XXX top-level domain as the related ICANN meeting is currently underway in Welligton, New Zealand. From the article: 'The .XXX TLD was widely expected to receive its final approval at the ICANN's last meeting held in Vancouver about 4 months earlier but the discussion was unexpectedly delayed as the organization and governments requested more time to review the merits of setting up such a domain.' But as it has been reported, it appears the discussions at ICANN Wellington are in limbo once again."

    Why do we need a .xxx domain anyway?

    Because porn is so hard to find on the Internet.

    Just use a different port. Filtering then becomes so simple that it's an absolute doddle. Never happen of course because it would make the multi-billion dollar filtering industry redundant.
