I think I can see where the FRC is coming from. They're saying that the new domain shouldn't go into effect since there's nothing to relegate adult content to that domain explicitly, since there will, still be just as many .com, .net or .org (etc. etc.) domains serving porn.
However, as usual, they pass off the blame for "bringing pornography into the home" to the industry, and not the people in the home for looking it up in the first place. I do understand their concerns - that domains should act as sort of ersatz zoning restrictions, but they're backwards in how it works. I doubt the new domain will make it any easier or harder to find whatever it is that floats your boat, though, and I would guess that what will mostly happen is that proprietors of HotTrannyAputees.com will just mirror their content to HotTrannyAmputees.xxx anyway. In fact, I'm sure Verisign, Comodo, et. al would love that, since they just get to sell more certificates. - Jim Robert Munn wrote: >OK, Internet professionals, it's time to close ranks around ICANN.
