And since there's no way for ICANN to effectively move all adult content away from the already existing tld's to the proposed .xxx tld, unless they turn themselves into a huge content review agency that constantly monitors all websites and webpages and drops violating domains (they would have to raise the price of a .com to let's say $100/y just to pay for the manpower and infrastructure), the only way to create a porn-free area on the web is to create a .kids tld with a strict application and review procedure. Parents would then be able to "block everything except for .kids domains". It's the same tactics you apply hen you set up a firewall: block everything except for the things you want to allow.
