Its already looking like this .xxx thing is going to be real bad, a way designed to shut down adult websites. PPush them off into a corner and then ISP's will be be able to block then under the the ruse of protecting the children.
"Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., complained to a federal commission that .xxx was necessary to force adult Webmasters to "abide by the same standard as the proprietor of an X-rated movie theater."
"the American Civil Liberties Union has expressed concern about .xxx domains. One worry is that some nations may force sites dealing with sensitive topics like homosexuality or birth control into the .xxx zone, where they can be easily blocked."
the last part says it all, easily blocked, thats what is going to happen. They will also be more expensive just because its for adult sites.
" Lawley said that .xxx domain names would cost around $75 and come with no restrictions except that any sexually explicit content feature only adults. "Apart from child pornography, which is completely illegal"
