this is probably the most compelling argument against the.xxx
I guess leaving it under one, uncensorable umbrella is the only solution to keep free information going.
(free as in free-thought, not no payment)
but it could still be offered, then... oh never mind
You would reward the KKK with recognition that they do not deserve.
Yes, you are probably right on this one... on the other hand, it gives the haxx0rs a DOS target:o)
maybe.scheissnazi would be a better one
[snip]... or whatever the objectionable content you were trying to block.
I have made my mind up about the world I live in and there is very little that will change that. But I personally don't need to see pages like goatse.cx, so I can simply put that filter into MY browser and can assume that I now filtered out "most" of that kind of content
Back to square one, except, now the KKK's name is in neon lights.
And you, as a conciencious parent, can now point your finger at it and teach your kid(s) that these are ideas that are no longer fit for current society.
Or would you rather have your repressed kid, that isn't allowed to do or see anything controversial, to find that info somewhere in some dark night at the keyboard and think those ideas might actually have value?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Whats the opposite... Prohibitionism?... yeah, that worked so much better.
well...biz doesn't really define anything IMHO.
let's assume they come out with a whole slew of new TLD's....sex.xxx.groceries.books.blogs.egosites.hardware.u-name-it
wouldn't that make internet search easier
look.. no perfect solution
but I don't believe that a xxx site "wants" to be read by 14 years olds.. they don't spend money on this stuff.
the guys that do spend money on this are going to be the driving force... capitalism at its best.
prohibitions dont work
cheers
You really don't get it.
The "smut" is already on the web... under.com
if you have all the smut under.xxx it is much easier to filter stuff out.
lets assume.xxx comes to be; many of the companies that provide that kind of smut will use the.xxx because then they are easy to find.
easy to find means dollars
the entities(liraries, schools, families) that DON'T want that smut on their computer screen can easily filter that out and sowith protect the innocent eyes of those they want to.

yes .. so you can pretend it's all not happening
keep them where you can see them
instead of make them hide
look .. no perfect solution
