Yep, .xxx would be stupid. We all know that, he seems to have an interest in it as opposed to other solutions.

Mark Pryor is a stupid hick.

Mark Pryor OBVIOUSLY has a financial motivation for his questions.

Furthermore he doesn't even listen to the answers after he asks a question.

What a fuck, the cowboy attitude is irritating too.

See above.

At least he got the last word in - I think he did well

Paul isn't much all the ball with good answers. These people need to sit down with a few of us and learn how to answer these questions in ways that would crush them.

One of the congressman asked Cambria about .KIDS that couldn't a porn site operator get a .KIDS domain and therefore gain exposure to kids.

Cambria didn't have a strong answer like he had with the other questions.

What he should have mentioned is that whoever is the registrar for .KIDS would have a review committee that would ensure that the website that owns the .KIDS domain would be screened and validated to be kid friendly.

That this registrar would also monitor the websites to ensure compliance.

This is why a .KIDS domain would cost like $200/year

As a policy, any .KIDS website that snuck in porn, and after a review process, would lose the domain.

.KIDS is the only effective tool that can protect children.

Some will argue that the .KIDS.US extension did some pitiful that there is no support for a .KIDS

.KIDS.US is not a good extension, and it really takes technology companies like Microsoft and AOL to put in a .KIDS filter to make this a reality.

Then ISP will offer proxy services to filter... third party products like zone alarm, norton firewall, etc could put in the white listing filter.

The senator from VA was the most tech savvy, and he said that he would rather see technology solve this problem, not congress.

Self-labelling with ICRA is great, labelling content is great.. but the problem is those that don't take that responsibility causes the problem.

And as a national study found, over 75% of free content porn comes from outside the US.. so any blacklisting filtering like .XXX just won't work...it will be like swiss cheese.

Lobbying MS and AOL is needed!


Fight the .XXX!

Yep, .KIDS would be nowhere better policed than the adult industry itself as well IMHO.

.KIDS trying to host adult content would be like a criminal in prison for child abuse, and we all know what that means.

.XXX would simply double overnight the number of porn sites on the net. Duh.

The chairman was trying to point fingers at the adult industry as being the problem.

The statistics gather by asacp.org over the last 2 years,has conclusively pointed out that CP is prevalent in the US! but. it is mainstream companies that are inadvertantly hosting, billing,and domain registration for CP.

There will be more talk about the asacp.org data to government to refute the fingering pointing at adult.

Fight the numbers!

Gotta love the one quote from Sen. Mark Pryor...

"I like that dot XXX"

I'm sure he does...

I wonder if he also favors a .bribe domain ;-)

probably more like .contribution

:)


Fight the semantics!

is there a transcript or recorded cast of this?

I cant believe Cambria didnt say porn site operators dont want kids exposed to their sites and only want adults duh.Also the biggest preditors of children online are in mainstream chatrooms not on porn sites. Fuck this pisses me off.

The program is going to repeat at 10:25 PM ET on C-SPAN.
