.xxx + .com = more porn

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has created and approved the .xxx suffix for pornographic websites -- and while it is being disguised as a way to segregate pornography to a separate domain, one pro-family leader believes it will actually increase pornographic pollution on the Internet.

An organization that was critical in the fight against this move is Enough Is Enough (EIE), a non-partisan, non-profit association that works to make the Internet safer for children and families.

"The pornographers historically have .com addresses, which they will continue to keep," explains EIE president Donna Rice Hughes. "This new top-level domain will just simply give them another place on the Internet to sell, to market, and to promote their pornography."

Donna Rice Hughes (Enough is Enough)Moreover, she argues, it will do nothing to protect children from pornography, but it will, in fact, make it easier for them to find. At the same time, it provides the potential for the porn industry to generate more income.

"We have to realize that the online pornography business, as [well as] the offline pornography business, is all about money," Hughes points out. "It's big bucks; it's a multi-billion dollar industry, and now it will be growing even faster."

She goes on to note that much of the pornography available online is illegal, yet with the exception of child porn, the federal government is not prosecuting it. If Congress tries to block the new domain, the EIE president does not believe members will be successful because of the courts.

She further feels that parents are the first line of defense, and they can learn how to deal with the issue at InternetSafety101.org.

I'm not a computer expert, but it seems to me that by having all porn in an "xxx" domain it would be easier to configure a computer to block all access to that particular type of website, rather than a filter which has to make decisions and judge content.  A lot of responsibility for preventing kids from seeing pornography lies on the shoulders of the parents.  I think society should also help, but at the end of the day a parent is in charge of their kids, and that is not a burden but a privilege and a right.  I don't think pornography is good for a person, it is actually quite terrible for all involved.  There is also a debate whether pornography should be legal for anyone at all.

Stay away from the Porn...

It is as addicting as Heroin, and bends the mind like LSD...

I have been there and done that... It is harder to quit than Cocaine...

I think the .xxx domains are a good idea, and yes it is easier to filter that out. Schools and households would no longer have to filter by keywords but could block all TLD that are .xxx.

What makes you guys think all the porn will be gone from the .com sites? I don't think it will. You'll still have to filter it by keywords if you have a filter.

OH PLEASE!

Do you really think a filter will help? Any tech savy teen today probably knows more than his/her parents about computers {except me of course, because I am a computer Wizard!!!}. When I was young I was accessing things my parents had no capability to even know about.

I think that parents should try to teach their youngsters to avoid it altogether. Unfortunately I know that reality is often harsher than ideology.

They would have to make porn on non-xxx-sites illegal to make it work.

Even then it would still be there.

But in a much smaller amount.
