India First Nation To Block New .XXX Domain

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), recently approved the creation of a ".xxx" domain for pornographic websites. Religious groups and even pornographers have taken issue with the assignation, and nations are now taking a stand, as well.

India has become the first country to block URLs ending in .xxx. The distribution of pornography is illegal in India and elsewhere, and other countries may follow India's lead.

"India along with many other countries from the Middle East and Indonesia opposed the grant of the domain in the first place, and we would proceed to block the whole domain, as it goes against the IT Act and Indian laws," said a senior official at the ministry of IT, according to the Economic Times. "Though some people have said that segregation is better, and some countries allow it. But for other nations transmission and direct distribution of such content goes against their moral and culture."

Pornographers and free speech activists have already voiced concerns that the .xxx suffix will allow authorities to winnow out adult content more easily.

The Next Web contacted cyber lawyer and author of "The Fundamental Right to the Internet," Vivek Sood, who pointed out that pornography can still be hosted on .com and .in domains in India.

Indeed, the application process for a .xxx domain is voluntary.

Sites seeking to join will be subjected to a set of standards that prohibit child pornography, among other restrictions, and protect consumers against Malware, TechSpot reports. The new domains will also cost as much as $50 dollars more per year than traditional domains, according to the AP.

Even at only about 9% online, it's still over 100 million online users.

.:2 cents:

Islamic countries ISP's have filters even over .com's for adult and they have to use proxies and VPN (saudi arabia, indonesia etc.), plus India and China they ban and censor adult in all the ways. So censoring .xxx it is simply easier to add to filters, and the users there will still avoid it with proxies and VPN.
What's interesting to see it is what will do usa, canada, uk, germany, france etc.

i'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing

QFT :upsidedow:upsidedow:):):upsidedow:upsidedow

So once every country bans XXX then the people will all go back to the com versions - the only one's who loose are those that actually put money in to buy a XXX domain. Perfect harmony

Indians,

You give them cows, they don't eat them.
You give them condoms, they don't use them.
You give them .xxx domains, they just ban them.

Fucking Indians

Hardcore and online porn is already illegal there. The offline underground Blue Film markets and the pirate markets must be happy by this decision.

oh no what will they do without all their credit cards! lol... err wait

Both Thailand and China will be banning them as well. I saw a local news piece on it a few weeks ago. I think they also said something about Indonesia and Singapore possibly banning them too.

was being sarcastic.

This means that in the current situation, .XXX will have better quality traffic. Of course though, one day Indian traffic might be better than US traffic, seems crazy now, but the world can change.

Big question is, will Utah filter out .XXX, as those Mormons are the best porn customers known to mankind

and the downside is? hopefully china and russia are next.

I believe The Great Firewall of China already has all porn banned :2 cents:

I can't say I'm the least bit surprised. It only took a day.

A great Bollywood act!

That just means indian grunt workers won't be able to update .xxx sites.

Thanks for re-posting 9 month old news...

Depends on point of view. It could be good - people loves when something's forbidden and they use it more. The sense of being caught in action makes the pleasure bigger - at least that's what I've read on the internet.

thought russia banned them long ago?

Thank god they have computers, they're the ones writing all my content!

i dont need that traffic,no problem for me

Im going to reg islam.xxx right now.

I hope Turkey doesn't ban .xxx, because they love to pull out their credit cards and buy memberships just as much as India does.

are there many buying customers from india?

So we need to keep our .com domains and translate the content to Indian :)

Yes but only for gay porn :1orglaugh

so you can put porn on indias tld but indians can't view porn on .xxx only on .in ? lol

.XXX will be very easy to ban, and it will happen more and more.

Adult on other extensions is harder to filter out.

.XXX is a pathetic extortion, ummm I mean, extension...

I don't care until I see country's I get joins from ban .xxx, like someone else stated (better traffic)
