Since it takes governement a long time to do anything, by the time they get around to even thinking about sticking porn on one extension, there will be so many porn tlds it will become impossible to do...

The tin foil conspiracy theory is that once the first adult specific TLD is created, that ICANN could move to clean up the .COM space by requiring all adult content to move off of it to some other TLD. (first amendment free speech would probably not apply)

Then, they can move on to hate speech, sex education, and stuff that is derogatory against China ;)


No matter the case, who gets the .XXX domain will be the nightmare for the registry to resolve, as the .COM owner is not necessary the shoe-in, because there are other country TLDs out there, as well as .NET


Fight the .whatever!
