ICANN Meeting Puts Off XXX Domain Again
An anonymous reader wrote to mention an International Herald story about a recent ICANN meeting on the proposed .XXX domain. Australia, the U.S., and the EU have moved to block the idea, with most commentators surmising this will prevent the concept from ever moving forward. From the article: "Some people maintain that a triple-x domain name, and the ability to enforce rules to qualify for it, would rein in an out-of-control Internet phenomenon. In registering, a company could have to abide by ratings agency standards, require proof of age for entrants, maybe even pay for Internet filtering research. The company pushing the idea, ICM Registry, also argues that dot-xxx would be good for customers of pornography sites, assuring them of certain business benchmarks, like being free of adware or computer viruses."
ICANN is going to be getting a FURIOUS letter from Jerry Taylor!!
The American Indians were here first, and the invaders killed them.
As I'm sure you know, Rob Malda is 1/8 Cherokee and I am sure he resents people calling the invaders "Americans" - especially on his own web site.

I cannot believe that America is so pro-porn. All the research shows how it leads to violence against women.
To to back that up with some actual facts?
I thought America was the land of the free, but it seems women are not free from offensive pornography! Americans need to understand that there are limits to freedom of speech, and that those limits should apply to pornography which is an invidious evil.
George Bush you should not be posting here without the correct facts..
