Comment

I think this is a great idea, for those who need to view porn, to have their own dedicated web site domain, dot XXX. And then REQUIRE that all existing and/or perceived porn sites that are presently on the dot com sites to move them over to the new xxx domain within a minimal specified time frame, perhaps within 3 > 6 months of deployment. If they do not cooperate and move the site on a timely basis, then those sites in violation would be shut down by the ICANN and ICM Registry. This would certainly go a long ways to alleviate parents fears of children inadvertently accessing a porn site on the dot com domain. Presently, these porn sites on the dot com are very difficult to block, because the webmasters have become very clever and astute at disguising the real nature and content of a site, utilizing crafty and wily wordage to tempt a person to access it. Fine and dandy, but let them do it on their own domain, and they won’t have to resort to deceitful tactics to trick people. If adults wish to view such porn, then let them do it on their own turf…away from the eyes of children. I’ll be standing in the wings waiting. I also intend to forward these comments onto the FCC, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Rep Fred Upton, et al, for their perusal.
