I read in one ICANN post, that a great comment was made that .XXX will make it easier for kids to find porn.
One of the claims by .XXX supporters is that adults will see the .XXX and be more likely to click on it.
I don't see MORE traffic going to a .XXX domain for these reasons:
1) if someone uses .XXX to filter out porn, they aren't the target customers anyways
2) given the way SE results come back, there is already a short blurb of text that lets the surfer know a little bit about the .COM domain, they use that to decide what to click
now back to the idea that .XXX will make it EASIER for kids to find porn.
a kid could type in gijoe.xxx and could end up at a porn site (as long as hasbro didn't sue the website first for trademark infringement).
whereas if a kid typed in gijoe.com they wouldn't see porn.
there are many instances where kids curiosity to just slap on a .XXX at the end, to see if anyone did create a porn site, will mean it will be EASIER for kids to find porn!
Fight the unintended consequences!
