Conservative U.S. Politicians Want Adult Sites Forced into .XXX
At a hearing a few months later, Rep Fred Upton demanded to know why ICANN didn't approve .xxx "as a means of protecting our kids from the awful, awful filth, which is sometimes widespread on the internet". Sen Joseph Lieberman 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 theatre".
http://networks.silicon.com/webwatch...9130895,00.htm Right wing Republicans and right wing Democrats will come together to make sure that .xxx becomes a nightmare for adult webmasters. The quotes above are from a few years ago, but they will be ready to attack as soon as .xxx is in place. Don't forget that people claiming to represent our own industry sold us out so they could make money on the deal. |

It also says in the article that the ACLU has already voiced concerns about the free speech issues of .xxx.
If you aren't an ACLU member, now would be a good time to join. You may not agree with everything they do, but they strongly support free speech. |

that's a fucking terrible idea. besides, it should be the responsibilty of the parents to police what the fuck their children do on the internet. i'm sick of people passing these ridiculous laws to keep kids safe. it's not the place of the government.

.xxx is a good idea for future adult sites and if they had introduced it from day one in the internet evolution, then it would have been fine to force people to use it for adult.
The problem is that it would be *impossible* to do that now, ie retroactively, because everyone is using other domains. Think about how many TM issues this would throw up, how much traffic would be lost and how much it would cost adult businesses to make the switch. Many adult business just wouldnt be able to switch. Its totally infeasible. |

No single organization can do everything. The FSC will work on the 2257 regulations as they pertain specifically to our industry. The ACLU will continue to make it harder for the US government to operate gulags like 'Gitmo.'
Personally, I support both organizations. |

Porn has a history of being tucked away in the corner and rightfully so. xxx domains is a good idea and should have been implemented from the start.
Porn is tangled up with just about every net subject so it?s hardly surprising why people are getting fed up with it. If it had been pushed onto a dedicated domain in the first place there would have been no argument and control of who gets to see it would have been made a lot easier. If everything was run like the internet there would be hardcore porn all over the shelves at Toy R Us Kicking internet porn up the ass is well overdue. Responsible webmasters with professional business models will survive. |

I remember when many adult webmasters advocated moving to .xxx as a counter to the arguments of COPA.

While I agree with you on Point 1, I don't think ISPs will block .XXX domains. From my point of view surfers will have the choice to block .XXX

Just wait for the Ameican Family Association, Citizens for Decency, and other Christo-nazis start pressuring Google and other search engines to block xxx domains.

Thats the idea of xxx domains so you can block it easily. Too much money at stake for ISP's to block everyone. thehun.xxx would drop from 4 to 2 million visitors when the kids are gone. |

The opposite is true. ISPs who don't block .XXX by default would suffer a loss of subscribers. A future of mandatory .XXX domains is a future of AOL-minded 'family-friendly' ISPs that may or may not allow you to turn the filter off client-side. Most married man with kids are not going to openly confront the wife to fight over the choice between a No-Porn ISP vs. a Porn-Allowed ISP. Get real. And then, even if the market doesn't completely self-censor, what additional burdensome regulations may the government pass to make life miserable for ISPs who do allow .XXX? Anyone who thinks this is a good idea isn't thinking too many moves ahead. We're being led into an ambush. |

The internet is not owned by children - it was made by adults for adults. You don't let your kids play in the freeway, so don't let them play on a porn site. The internet is not ToysRus - it's a whole world and adult content has just as much right as anyone else to exist there. .xxx is an attempt to remove all adult content from the major ISPs. Reading your post, I would guess you are anti-free speech to start with. |

Are you for real? Did you miss the point of why the Internet was created? Obviously you did so I'll fill you in. The Internet (not ARPAnet) was created for research institutes and government agencies world wide to communicate with one another and to allow a forum for free thought; it was later expanded to colleges and universities. The Internet was the first form of truly free speech that has ever existed in recorded history. Governments around the world have sucessfully censored thought offline but have found that control of the public mind online has been nearly impossible. The Internet is not Toys 'R Us. It was not created to be a form of entertainment for your children (and in some cases a babysitter) and there is no excuse for a parent not to spend $20 on filtering software if they wish to limit what their children are exposed to online (if they can afford $1000 for a computer they can afford Cybersittter). |

Problem is, among other things.., 'sexual education, condom instructions, child birthing info, info on STD's and sites like scarlet teen would be lumped in that .xxx TLD and therefore, would also be blocked. This is the administration, who preaches 100 percent abstinence and took away funding from non for profit organizations who promoted safe sex. There's many things wrong with the concept, business wise also..but that's a start. |

If they do as crappy of a job as they did re the "time / manner" restrictions on speech exemplified by the Supreme Court's rulings on strip bar location, then the ACLU is fighting a lost cause.
Increasingly, the conservative-led US Supreme Court is carving a two prong approach--placing "time/manner" restrictions on speech BUT focusing on opening political and commercial speech. Quote:

The blame of what children do in the home, will never be on the parents. It will always be on other things. Such as tv, and the internet. But they are not really worried about the children that are seeing the porn, it is more about the children that are being forced into it.

Wonder why they don't go after sites full of pics of people torn to shreds from accidents... Sites with pics and videos of all sorts of violence.. and videos of people being murdered...
I guess this is accepted in our society.. Nothing immoral about all of this.. Ohhhhh that's right.. it's porn that causes kids to kill kids .. What was I thinking?? |

AOL would gain more subscribers than they would lose through a massive TV ad blitz about how they have cleaned all porn off the internet. And adult sites instantly lose tens of millions of potential customers. Then multiply that by all the other ISPs that feature "clean" as a selling point just like they use "no spam" now. All there is to argue about is how much of the population we would lose. A quarter of your sales? Half? |
