Love on the net
The ICANN board is again considering approving the dot.xxx domain name for adult websites. The last time, the idea was dropped because American conservative groups nixed it. Now, what should be done in addition to approving the porn domain is enabling parental control filtering by domain extensions, and adult websites should be required to move to the new domain.
Online sex and porn addiction is an epidemic that has not spared our kids. Currently, it is virtually impossible to filter all adult content. All we can do is block individual sites or use the voluntary ICRA rating system. The former is inefficient as there are literally millions of sites that can be found using your friendly neighborhood google or bing. The latter is strictly voluntary and very few sites adhere to it. There are the usual “Over 18″ warnings but those easy enough to fake.
An internet porn domain, along with the necessary reforms to restrict adult content to it, should be something conservatives should wholeheartedly support.
