India To Ban .xxx Domain

Posted by timothy on from the isn't-that-the-whole-point dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Indian government have said they will introduce measures to block the newly approved .xxx domain from the country. The Economic Times reports that 'India along with many other countries from the Middle East and Indonesia opposed the grant of the domain in the first place, and we would proceed to block the whole domain, as it goes against the IT Act and Indian laws.'"

    Yep, there you go, motherfuckers. To all of you douchebags that were bitching about the US not approving .xxx saying we are religious nuts, etc., well, this is why we didn't approve it for so long. What next? .gay? dot$INSERT_WHATEVER_YOU_DONT_LIKE? Hope you fucks are happy.

    The only practical use of this TLD is to force porn sites to use it. But who will decide what is and what isn't porn? This blog has a good story on this
