Pressure places like Google to ban all adult materials and ads that are not linked to .xxx. It's not THAT long of a slippery slope.

Using .xxx as an argument that it'll make it easier to prevent children from viewing adult material is a complete red herring. Heres a simple analogy. If you wanted your child to only get email from "[email protected]", do you black list everyone else, or whitelist that single address? duh.

.kids is the whitelist approach that makes so much common sense, it's no wonder that lawmakers dont want to do it. It's too simple. There is no room for abuse. No money to be made. I really hope that ICAAN is only paying lip service to the idea of .xxx, with no real intention of approving it.
