Ahhh, the true colors of the dot-xxx people keep coming out now that they're worried about appeasing right-wing groups.

From a newsfactor.com story:

"A nonprofit board that will oversee the domain is being put together, Aftab said, and there are indications that a child safety advocate will be asked to join. In many ways, the creation of a virtual red light district will act like its real-life component, he added. It will separate adult-themed material into its own section that can be policed accordingly."

Policed accordingly? Hmmm, whatever could they mean by that?

Aftab, for those of you who don't know him, will almost certainly be one of the people who will sit on the IFFOR Board making decisions about OUR businesses. Additionally, Aftab's organization is expected to get money from each domain name registration... in other words, if you buy a .xxx domain name, part of your money will go to people like Aftab who want to make sure your business is "policed accordingly." Wow, what a great deal for the industry!
